I opened a bottle of this with a group of reflective tasting pals yesterday alongside some yummy Chinese Dim Sum and what a wine! Terrific length and tannins all focussed and singing from the same Hymn sheet in a big way! Bring on Christmas and give me a bottle of this to have with the Lunch any day of the week!
Dark red-purple in colour. Black cherry, plum and some fleshy characters on the nose. Medium-ripe palate showing good fruit characters married to fine oak before nice long finish. A very nicely made shiraz
showing the cooler spectrum characters.
Fruit sourced from the Frankland River Region 50km north of Mount Barker, the characteristically cool
climate of the district ensures slow ripening of the grapes, which also allows for the development of rich flavour and quality grape juice.
Grown on ancient gravely loams in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, an area renowned for excellence in cool climate viticulture.
GALAFREY WINES remains a family-owned business and all wines are dry grown, nurtured and bottled
on the estate. Established by Ian Tyrer (1946-2003) Galafrey is survived by mother and daughter team, Linda and Kim Tyrer, who maintain a hands-on role to ensure that the Galafrey philosophy is upheld. That is to produce small parcels of distinctive and consistently excellent wines and committed to producing fruit of the highest quality which we believe is the key to winemaking excellence.
