Notes:
Eight Songs is a tribute to the great Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, the inspiration of this unique Barossa Shiraz comes from the entwined story of England’s “Mad King”, George III, the operatic collaboration of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies and Randolph Stow and the visual art of Rod Schubert which all came together in a seamless symphony from the Barossa Music Festival
Food Matching Note:
Excellent with braised lamb shanks, rare beef, and richly flavoured casseroles and, of course, excellent with aged cheddar or hard cheese.
Tasting Note:
Dense black in colour with a garnet rim and dark chocolate-dipped ripe plum aromas with a hint of smokiness on the nose. Deep, rich black berry fruits with lashings of chocolate reined in by soft tannins. On the palate. This is Shiraz at its voluptuous best, with a deliciously velvety smooth mouth feel and generous length.
Vinification Note:
Sourced from selected high quality, low yielding Shiraz vineyards of the north western districts of the Barossa Valley, fermented and then matured for 18 months in new French oak hogsheads. Very approachable now, and will continue to develop in the bottle over the next 8-10 years.
