2005 Nirvana Reserve Shiraz
 
 
WINEMAKERS David Mavor
GRAPE VARIETIES 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.
ALC 15.6%
pH 3.39
TA 7.79g/L
