Pepper Shiraz 2018 750ml

This wine has all of the desirable features of a cool climate shiraz. It has a beautiful bright red colour with purple hues that is most appealing, as is its vibrant shiraz fruit nose. The wine is both delicate and elegant. It has a full mouth feel to it with lovely fruit flavours that envelop the palate.
The taste is of dark forest berries, raspberry with a silky mid palate that leads to a white and black pepper spice finish.
The lovely pepper characters are indicative of a cool climate shiraz grown at 900 metres above sea level. The wine has a lingering back palate of savoury tannins.

Judges Comments: “ Good richness with a faint oak overlay which is not intrusive – the wine is balanced and moreish, Lovely length” – “earthy dark fruits blackberry and blackcurrant freshness, hint of vanilla and leafiness, juicy black cherry, nice oak integration and balanced tannins, good length”
