Ladies who Shoot their Lunch, Shiraz

Superb Shiraz smells invitingly of juicy ripe blackberries and black cherries, with slightly resinous, spicy, incense notes, toasted oak, and raspberry jam. In the mouth, it is irresistibly delicious, with gorgeously pronounced black fruit, black pepper, and liquorice notes, alongside subtle, suave oak. The tannins are beautifully rounded and velevety and there is fabulous freshness.

10% of the must was held cold prior to inoculation to encourage aromatic intensity. Wine was fermented at around 24C in stainless steel tanks and matured in a combination of old and new, small and large, English and French oak. One third of the wine was matured in 140 year old 5000L English oak casks.

Served perfectly alongside juniper berry rubbed roast Venison fillet with red wine jus.
