The Pupil Pyrenees Shiraz 2009

A luxurious smooth savoury nose with rich plummy fruits contrasted by cloves, tobacco, white pepper and anise. On the palate the fruit is more forward, yet seamlessly restrained by raison, pepper and some gorgeous mocha notes. A long, lingering finish sees this excellent wine out and has you reaching for more in due course. An absolute treat – probably the best of the Pupil labels.
It is no surprise that the Pyrenees mountain range shares its name with the ruggedly beautiful area that divides France and Spain – sweeping vistas, a temperate climate and passion for pétanque offer similarities that go way beyond the name. A southern extension of the Great Dividing Range, the Pyrenees foothills and ranges create a remarkable diversity of microclimates that provide a wealth of variety for winemakers. The 44 vineyards in the region grow about 25 varieties of grapes, but the Pyrenees’ strength and reputation lies in its savoury, spicy reds and in particular, premium cabernet sauvignon. Chardonnay and sauvignon blanc also respond beautifully to the soils and climate here. - www.pyrenees.org.au
