Brick Kiln Shiraz 2008

We believe this wine made by our two new winemakers is an excellent product from a difficult year, and is similar in many ways to the great 2005 Brick Kiln. The wine was matured in oak hogsheads (30% new, 20% French) for 18 months before bottling in October 2009. The scent of luscious berries tantalises the nose as one regards the deep purple colour of the wine in glass.

On the palate berry and plum fruit predominate, with hints of licorice, caramel and spicy pepper. The soft fruit tannins reach to the mid palate with a long lasting aftertaste. Recently awarded four stars by Winestate magazine in the April/May issue New Releases report.
