Bobbie Burns Shiraz 2023
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with youthful crimson tints. Fresh and vibrant, full of ripe fruit, with blood plum, blackcurrant and blackberry integrated with sweet spices, earthy notes and a light oak finish.
Wine Making
Early season rainfall eventually gave way to drier ripening conditions in late Summer. A little juice was bled off at the crusher to allow a greater ratio of skin contact. The resultant ripe flavours have produced a rich wine with great fruit depth and balance. After fermentation on skins for seven to ten days using open and closed fermenters, this wine was subsequently aged for a period of 18 months in a mixture of new to three year old premium French and American barrels before the final blend was assembled.
Cellaring
Enjoy now with a Moroccan spice rubbed fillet of beef or over time with slow braised beef or lamb. Cellar up to 2032
