The Brothers Shiraz 2015
The ultimate expression of Rutherglen Shiraz
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Deep, dense red. A rich, ripe and aromatic nose of dark plums with toasty vanillin oak and spice highlights.
Wine Making
After fermentation for five days using closed fermenters, the wine was aged in new American and French oak puncheons for a period of 2 years.
Cellaring
Our 2015 The Brothers Shiraz has undergone extended maturation in both barrel and bottle prior to release. This time has allowed the fruit, oak and tannins to fully integrate and deliver a truly memorable Rutherglen Shiraz. Whilst approachable now, this complex and structured wine will reward those with the patience to cellar to 2026 and beyond. Try alongside a tender rib eye steak with green peppercorn sauce.

Palate:
Full bodied, powerful & velvety smooth with concentrated black plum and cherry. Carefully selected oak adds a touch of earth and spice with finely, grippy tannins providing balance and length. A powerful wine with the natural building blocks to age and develop in bottle.
