Woodstock McLaren Vale Shiraz Cabernet 2010
|
| |
|
|
63% Shiraz; 37% Cabernet Sauvignon.
n this classic Australian blend, Shiraz provides fleshy fruit, spice and middle palate weight, and the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a sturdy backbone and texture… a perfect synergy of two prominent Australian red varieties.
Aromas of savoury spice and black cherries followed by subtle hints of fennel and mint. Bursts of mulberries and plums add to the rich middle palate of chocolate, and the underlying warmth of oak. Fine tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon provide backbone and structure while fleshy Shiraz enriches the body. Both varieties combine with elegance and savoury length. Cellaring for three to five years will be very rewarding with a softer palate and more complex flavours.
Fruit for this wine was sourced from the estate as well as neighbouring vineyards in McLaren Vale. Maturation for around 18 months in a combination of 2 and 3 year old seasoned French and American oak enhances the subtle complexity without the dominance of oak.
Goes brilliantly with: Plum and rosemary lamb shanks served with mashed Desiree potatoes and steamed green beans. A good splash of Woodstock Shiraz Cabernet in the sauce while cooking makes this match perfect!
