2018 Miners Ridge AT Shiraz
“Rich and intense flavours of blackberry, cassis with hints of black pepper and chocolate/ liquorice. Fruit flavours balanced by Long finish and fine tannins that will further integrate with age. Peppery spice with red cherry and blueberry dominate with silky tannins that persist. A typical Grampians growing season. Warm summer and ideal ripening conditions. This wine is harvested from a select part of the MR shiraz block to showcase the best of the block. Fermented in open fermenter, pumped over three times a day and pressed as soon as the fermentation was dry, then aged in French and American barrels. With only 35 cases made each year this is a rare find.”
