2013 Granite Hills Shiraz

Shiraz from Macedon Ranges is the definition of cool climate.

There is a blackberry and blackcuraant nose that is given aromatic support from both French and American oak that provides generosity and depth.

This is a wine of elegance and structure with a fine baseline of tannin and acidity. The palate builds with unsweetened licorice, blackberry, black cherry and a dusting of white pepper. The finish has a tar and roses like complexity to finish with flashes of oak giving a final embellishment.

A wine for quiet contemplation and will reward decades in the cellar.
