Deakin Estate Shiraz 2009

Colour: Deep red.
Nose: Black plum and mulberries with notes of spicy, vanilla oak and a savoury hint of coffee.
Palate: Juicy dark berries abound on the palate with well integrated and balanced spicy oak. A smooth, rounded mouthfeel with good intensity and length.
Cellaring Potential: Enjoy now but may also be cellared up to four years.
Ideal Food Matches: A rich and delicious accompaniment to this Shiraz would be a traditional Spaghetti bolognaise with warm sourdough to mop up the extra sauce. A roasted rack of lamb would also be great with this wine.
Wine Specifications: Alc/Vol: 13.5% pH: 3.46 Acidity: 5.9g/l
Vinification: The wine fermented in sweeping arm Potter fermenters with a pump-over program set for desired colour and tannin extraction. Pressing and Malolactic Fermentation were followed by clarification before the finest parcels were aged in American and French oak barrels. The separate batches were then brought back together to create the lovely resultant blend.
James Halliday: Good purple colour, deep but clear; a prime example of just how much
flavour and structure can be obtained from the Riverland; the blackberry
fruit of the medium-bodied palate has good texture and structure.
