Nose

Margaret River shiraz aromas of berry fruit, plum, and spice, with a
hint of fragrant apricot.

Palate

Delicious floral fruits like rich sweet plum are complimented by
classic cool shiraz spiciness and delicate lifted notes of honeysuckle
and apricot.

Winemaking

Another outstanding Margaret River vintage in 2005 produced
shiraz grapes with ripe, sweet varietal plum and berry fruit
characters and generous colour. Fermentation took place in open
fermenters, and was carefully monitored with regular hand
plunging and pumping over. A very small percentage of Viognier
was co-fermented with the shiraz, to add complexity and delicate
hints of apricot and honeysuckle. The wine was then pressed into
40 % new and aged French and American oak for 12 months.
