Barwang Hilltops Shiraz 2009

|
Bold deep red purple with inviting crimson hues. The aromas are captivating and perfect cool climate vanilla and cedar oak notes combine with blackberry fruit, spice and a hints of star anise to compile the groundwork of a seriously good Shiraz.
The first sip immediately shows rich plums and prune juice flavours dominate this fleshy full and lively palate. The finish is like a great big steak, long and juicy with chamois textured tannins. Absolutely perfect for the weekend and some thinking time!
Fruit for this vibrant Shiraz was vinified in open top fermenters, destemmed and inoculated with cultured yeast. The juice was then pumped over and the cap headed down. Once the fermenting juice was drained the wine was pressed off and transferred to 25 per cent new, 40 per cent one year old and 35 per cent two year old French and American oak to complete primary and malolactic fermentation. Portions of the final blend underwent malolactic fermentation and were then kept in older wood to give added fresh red fruit lift and balance to the final wine.
