"This is a monster red from Ben Potts. Huge concentration but the tannin structure to tame it. This is a darn good rendition of the heavy red genre. Intense blackberry, blackcurrant, mint and earth. Lots of oak spice. Warm through the finish but excellent persistence. Love the tannin here. And the pure, uncompromising ooze of fruit. Rated : 94 Points" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
"The colour is partially developed; a complex bouquet has black fruits, abundant spice, some chocolate and plenty of quality oak; the palate picks up all these characters and rolls them into a coherent whole; excellent length. 94 Points." - James Halliday.
Vines are grown with a natural farming philosophy; we strive to eliminate chemicals in our vineyards to create a wine that is regional, sustainable and real.
Fruit for Fiddle’s Block Shiraz has been sourced from older vines (50-60 years old) grown on traditional Langhorne Creek flood plain country (deep alluvial clay loam soils) in the family vineyards. The vines are on their own roots (origin of the clone is not really known) and are low yielding at 0.5-1.5 tonnes per acre.
Colour: The Fiddle’s Block Shiraz is deep red-purple in colour
Nose: Intense dark berry fruits and earthy overtones with balanced spice oak nuances.
Palate:The palate is full bodied, intensely concentrated, rich, ripe and well balanced, fine grained dusty tannins and excellent persistence.
Recommend decanting and aeration prior to drinking.
