Tasting Notes:
Appearance - Deep red/black with crimson rim
Bouquet - The nose on this wine displays a mixture of blackberry allspice, raspberry chocolate and licorice with vanilla spice oak characters complementing the fruit perfectly.
Palate -Powerful blackberries and blackcurrant flavours together with licorice and dark chocolate. These flavours are balanced by firm acidity and fully integrated tannin giving a wine of extraordinary depth and length of finish. This is the epitome of our Reserve Shiraz style.
Winemaking - The fruit for the 2001 Reserve Shiraz was primarily sourced from our ‘Willows Block’ at Fox Creek and harvested between 14° and 14.5° Baume. Fermentation on skins was for 8 days with a proportion of the wine (40%) completing fermentation in new American (80%) and French (20%) oak. The wine was matured for 15 months in new and 1 year old American oak. During this time it was racked 3 times allowing us to assess the quality of the wine and fine-tune our oak handling.
