91 POINTS James Halliday & Special Value Rating - Halliday Wine Companion 2018

BRONZE MEDAL - 2017 Western Australia Boutique Wine Show

BRONZE MEDAL - 2017 Wine Show of Western Australia

This Shiraz was produced from 100% Nannup fruit.  The fruit was allowed to ferment naturally then macerate on skins for 21 days to extract all the natural colour and tannins possible.  This has produced a wine with dark berry fruit and floral aromas with subtle spice and toasty oak characteristics.

"Hand-picked from a single estate vineyard, wild fermented, 21 days on skins.  Elegant and harmonious, with red cherry in the driver's seat, fine tannins and subtle French oak the passengers. Should be ready to pull out from the kerb at a moment's notice." - James Halliday Wine Companion 2018
