Food Matching Note:
The perfect celebration wine. A great party starter and wonderful for a lazy Sunday brunch. Try with egg and bacon pie! Delicious with roast turkey, baked honey-glazed ham.
Tasting Note:
The colour is dark cherry red. The nose has lashings of beautiful soft chocolate and dark plums. Having spent 6 years on yeast lees it has a persistent fine bead, and is superbly developed, showing richness, softness and a delicious yeast complexity.
Vinification Note:
Forty year old Shiraz vineyard grown by the Hahn family on the outskirts of Nuriootpa in the
Barossa. Fortunately the good winter rainfall which preceded the long hot dry summer prompted good vine growth early and reasonable fruit set. Some of the hottest December/ Jan temperatures ever. Fermented on skins for 7 – 10 days, pressed, clarified and then matured for 12 months in older French oak hogsheads. The base wine was then bottle-fermented and aged on its yeast lees for 6 years.
