Deep, vibrant crimson/garnet colour. Blackcurrant and plum aromas with lifted clove-like spice complemented by toasty oak and a touch of fennel. Intense but balanced juicy red currant and plum characters on the palate with a gentle spice. Generous, soft mouth-filling tannins and balanced acidity.
Oak maturation for the No. 6 Shiraz is 18 months in 80% French new (20%) and 1-3 year old barriques. 20% American 2 year old barriques.
Awards and Accolades
91 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "Strong purple-red hue still in play; a substantial and complex medium- to full-bodied wine, fusing blackberry, plum and spice in its core, then wrapping a thin sheath of dark chocolate and oak around that core."
SILVER - China Wine & Spirit Awards Best Value - HK
BRONZE - International Wine Challenge - UK
COMMENDED - Decanter World Wine Awards - UK
