2017 Shiraz, Langhorne Creek, South Australia
Cellar Release Bluegrass rare aged wine
Description
No need to decant — this wine is ready to express itself from the first pour. Ripe raspberry and dark chocolate aromas rise immediately, revealing a deep and layered bouquet.
At ten years of age, the colour shows the first graceful signs of maturity while retaining a vibrant fruit core. The palate is generous and rounded, with flavours of sugar plum and red currant jam supported by subtle, well-integrated oak.
Tertiary notes of leather and dried tobacco lend savoury complexity and a refined, lingering finish. A mature wine that shows both richness and balance.

- Tasting Notes
Full bodied and exuberant in character with that recognisable Bluegrass smoothness. A wine that is true to form and varietal. A lovely wine if I do say so myself.

A wine that deserves the best. We suggest a one inch prime cut of Angus beef, char grilled and accompanied by a Kumera mash and steamed Brocolini. Bon Appetit!
