100% Shiraz |
| REGION |
100% Clare Valley |
| COLOUR |
Deep purple / black |
| BOUQUET |
Complex and more savoury than fruit driven (as is a trademark of our Nirvana Reserve). Rich notes of dark chocolate, toasted nuts and raisins. |
| PALATE |
Rich, chewy tannins indicate a wine of great cellaring potential. A little closed on the palate, again dark chocolate and raisin fruit dominate with a touch of boysenberry. The French oak is integrated and balanced, showing as soft char on the finish. |
| GENERAL |
This wine is a true indulgence for us; made from only the best fruit from our high altitude, dry grown Penwortham vineyard then allowed 24 months in the best oak before bottling. Unfiltered to preserve maximum flavour intensity. |
| SERVE |
This is really a serious cellaring proposition (8+ years) but for those more impatient among us try it with a sharp, matured cheddar and suitably rousing soundtrack. |
