A wonderful purple to red in the glass with pin pricks on the surface that evolve endlessly from the bottom of the glass.
The nose has lifted red berries, a hint of cloves and the promise of darker plum characters.
The palate has the depth and complexity of Grampians Estates finest still wines with layered plum and dark cherry well integrated with spicy oak. The finish shows dark chocolate and bracing tannins that add structure and character with persistence of dark berry fruit.
This is a benchmark sparkling Shiraz that proves a quality base wine and considerate wine making can produce a superbly complex and pleasing wine
