Nose
Lifted notes of mulberry and plum intertwined with both
floral and peppery nuance.
Palate
Medium bodied with great drive and length of flavour.
Vibrancy and purity of fruit is at the forefront of the style.
Winemaking
2016 was a truly distinct vintage. A dry, warm season was punctuated with a
tropical rain event in late January. This natural rainfall pushed back harvest
dates and allowed for better vine balance during ripening, smaller bunches
and tiny berries. The resultant fruit had wonderful thick skins, incredible
concentration and excellent varietal identity.
Sourced primarily from our mature vineyards in the Wilyabrup sub-region of
Margaret River, this wine also contains one very special parcel of fruit from
the more southern Karridale sub-region.
Handpicked and cold soaked with a portion of whole bunch fermentation.
This wine was aged in a combination of new and seasoned French oak for 12
months which led to lovely, savoury and peppery aromatics that define the
unique style of Redbrook Estate Shiraz.
Appearance
Deep purple/black with a bright, red rim.
Food Pairing
Slow cooked pork shoulder with fennel and rosemary roasted pumpkin.
