Mitchelton Print Shiraz 2006
|

|
|
The Print Shiraz was sourced predominantly from the ‘old faithful’ Crescent and D Blocks on the Mitchelton estate. The Crescent Block was formed when an old prior steam or ancestral course of the Goulburn River was an active and fast flowing juvenile river in a wetter climatic phase. The Crescent Block is uniquely located on the inside of a vast sweeping river meander giving the block its shape and its name. The river has long since changed courses but has left the remnants of a stranded sandbar consisting of fine to coarse washed river sands that extend to great depths. D Block is located on a higher plateau comprising of the oldest soils on the estate formed 100 thousand years ago through the deposition of sand, silt and clay from high impact flooding events.
Deep brooding blood red in appearance, this wine opens with complex aromas of mulberry, cherry and rice pudding peppered with spicy star anise and cocoa powder. Rich, opulent fruits of plum, cherry and strawberry marry with cinnamon bark, licorice and nutmeg overtones. These powerful and persistent flavours melt together with rich chocolatey tannins that will evolve and soften over the next 10-20 years.
