About the wine
Beautifully balanced to perfection!
-
Sam’s super single-vineyard Shiraz comes from the Gentle Annie vineyard near Dookie in Central Victoria. This relatively dry site produces a low yielding crop of very small berries, giving a deeply coloured wine with extraordinary concentration of flavour.
-
The fruit was harvested over the first three weeks in March which produced a range of flavours from the early pick being more peppery through to the more richer jammy later parcels.
-
This superb shiraz has an incredibly deep red colour showing a youthful vibrant magenta at the edges. It has great intensity of flavour with blueberry fruits, along with a sweet spice and almost a chocolatey note. This is a beautifully balanced wine with great intensity of flavour finishing with silky fine grained tannins.
Best before
The pretty aromatics make this an enjoyable drink now, but for people who like to age wine, I think it will evolve and improve over the next 5-7 years and perhaps considerably longer.
Serving advice
I think serve the Shiraz at 16-18C. It's okay to drink straight away, but it will opens and be even more expressive if you have the time and patience to let it breath for an hour or two.
Food match
This is a versatile wine and a good match for pretty much any red meat dish including a favourite of mine - roast leg of lamb, perhaps with a herb crust to match that rosemary and pepper note in the Shiraz
