Fletcher Estate Margaret River Shiraz 2012
About the wine
.
- The latest edition to the Fletcher family... a medium bodied wine with a very spicy fruit flavour and generous middle palate.
- The 2012 growing season was dominated by a succession of warm fronts however some good spring rains left the soil moistures sufficient to carry through and in the end a great year for reds!
- At 14.3% alcohol this wine isn't for the faint hearted... but after being the winner of a trophy for best Shiraz at the Margaret River wine show we don't think you can go wrong.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Brian Fletcher
- Once the chief winemaker for Evans & Tate, Brian is one of Margaret River’s greatest treasures — and ours! In 30+ years in the business, he’s collected over 50 Trophies and 100s of medals. He works with a trusted network of exceptional local growers who guarantee him the best fruit. “They're as important to the process as anything,” he says. “ It’s their grapes you are drinking and I’m the translator.”
- He’s also a wizz in European wine production, earned through back-breaking vintages in old wineries in Italy and Tunisia. In fact, it was during Brian’s 5-year stint in Italy that he truly found his wine feet and decided there was no other life for him.
- Even with a resume like his, getting Naked in 2012 was a big deal for Brian. It meant he could create his own wines in his own name and share them with big-hearted wine lovers like you. And the direct connection to chat with you is the icing on the cake!
