Tasting Notes
Dense, dark red. In the magnum format the wine is showing rich, lifted blackberry and plum fruit, with a hint of oak char in the background.
Bobbie Burns Shiraz 2017 Magnum Tasting NoteWine Making
The favourable 2017 growing season produced a Bobbie Burns Shiraz with incredible depth and concentration of fruit flavours. After fermentation on skins for seven to ten days using closed fermenters, the wine was subsequently aged for a period of 18 months in a mixture of new to three year old premium French and American barrels.
Cellaring
Enjoy now with a Moroccan spice rubbed fillet of beef or over time with slow braised beef or lamb. Our long history with this wine suggests it will continue to develop in the bottle for over 12 years.

Palate:
This wine is full bodied with powerful characters of dark berries and ripe plum fruit, beautifully balanced with layers of fine, dry tannin and complementary notes of liquorice, ironstone and spice. A wonderful vintage that is drinking well now and will also reward careful cellaring. Bobbie Burns Shiraz 2017 Magnum Tasting Note
