GOLD MEDAL: Rutherglen Wine Show 2010, class 213.
"Deep crimson-purple; ripe plum and blackberry fruit drive the bouquet and fore-palate, savoury/spicy nuances coming with fine tannins on the back-palate and finish; good texture and balance. 90 Points." - James Halliday.
Colour: Bright ruby red.
Aroma: Regional spices like cardamom and clove rise over ripe blueberry fruit and a touch of vanillan oak.
Flavour: The blueberry like fruit gives way to those tell-tale foresty spices and a rich mid-palate of chocolate, vanilla and balanced acidity. The soft tannin structure of this wine allows lingering fruit flavours to shine throughout the long dry finish.
Shiraz produces Australia’s most notable dry red wines. The variety is very successful on sites that allow the vine to attain flavour ripeness whilst retaining balanced levels of sugar, tannin and acid. Blue Pyrenees Estate Vineyard is one such site. The 2009 Blue Pyrenees Shiraz is produced from parcels of fruit grown on low-yielding exposed vines creating a wine of intense flavours, naturally soft tannin and the classic rich Shiraz structure. The perfect 2008 / 2009 growing season provided ideal winter and spring rains, finished by a warm dry summer and autumn which translated to excellent Shiraz ripening conditions. Maturation for 18 months in a combination of new, one, and two-year-old French and American oak barriques has added softness, texture and complexity to a wine of impressive concentration.
