McLaren Vale Cabernet Shiraz 2008

Vinification
Parcels of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz were harvested from a range of suitable blocks during March and April. Some cooler sites were used for Cabernet Sauvignon to enhance this part of the blend profile, while the ripe, juicy Shiraz adds tannin and spice. Individual vineyard blocks were fermented separately, using a range of different techniques for complexity. The wine was matured in French and American oak.

Tasting Notes
Excellent depth of colour with a distinct purple hue. Brambly, minty aromatics coupled with tobacco leaf, plum and spicy nuances. The palate has a strong tannin structure with power and great length. There is rich dark berry fruit coupled with earthy, leathery undertones.
