Halliday Winery.
This family has been at the coal face of producing sensational fruit for much bigger named wineries for decades now and the move to formalise thier own brand into the market is a very good one.
Chalk Hill Sidetrack is an easy drinking full bodied wine packed full of jammy fruits and great oak integration. Sidetrack is a blend of 60% Shiraz 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Grenache and was aged in a mix of old and new tight grain French Oak.
The wine has a deep plum red colour, with a lifted berry fruit and caramel on the nose. The strong varietal fruit characters on the palate are supported by peppermint, chocolate and some earthy flavours, with a persistent finish.
The wine will develop further in the bottle and with good cellaring will be enjoyed through to 2015. Wines sealed under screw cap will benefit from decanting prior to drinking 14.5% Alcohol.
