The palate is rich, round & soft with concentrated berry fruit & hints of anise. These flavours are enhanced by velvety tannins & spicy length of flavour on the finish.
Pepperjack Barossa Shiraz is a blend of Shiraz parcels sourced from premium vineyards throughout the Barossa. Parcels selected for Pepperjack Barossa Shiraz have bright, rich fruit concentration with a range of flavours from red berries to rich plums and a hint of savoury notes.
The fruit is fermented for up to ten days depending on the parcel of fruit, then aged for 12 months in a mix of American and French Oak. Individual parcels of fruit are matured separately to maximise the blends complexity through a staged selection process. The resultant wine is soft and plush with lots of flavour, balance and a fine tannin structure
Awards and Accolades
2013 Vintage: 92 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Australian Wine Companion "Combination of high alcohol and sour-edged acidity has the odds stacked against this, but as it breathes the richness and purity of the fruit wins the day. Plum, chocolate and cranberry flavours do the talking, and persuasively so."
