ShirazInspired by the Australian ‘Clarets’ of the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. The Medium Red Blend pays homage to the Classic Australian Red Blend, Shiraz and Cabernet. Winemaking 65% Cabernet, 25% Malbec, 10% Shiraz. Each variety was picked and fermented separately. 100% de-stemmed and fermented on skins for 14 days. Pressed to old puncheons and matured for 20 months before bottling. Tasting Notes Remarkable lifted floral nose with iron filings, blue and black fruits aniseed and chocolate. The palate has a lovely crunch of acidity with an almost cranberry like character. Pairing Suggestions Roast vegetables and red meat are the two obvious pairings for this wine. 95 Points | Regan Drew, Winepilot 95 Points | Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
