As soon as you
pour a glass of our 2008 Shiraz you notice the inky red and purple hues. You
think, “This wine has character!” Tony Pelosi, our winemaker, has risen to the
occasion. We started with a late harvest in April 2008 picking huge
spectacular, cascading, bunches of grapes from our vines that look like small
trees. We thought – “How can you possibly grow such wonderful grapes in Boronia
- of all places?” Well, we have done – and here are the results. Our 2008
Shiraz has a dense blackberry and blueberry nose with complex, savoury and
earthy notes, underpinned with hints of black pepper and spice. The vibrant and
inviting nose is a reflection of the wonderful fruit depth and richness that
amazes the palate. Lingering berry flavours are supported by a ripe, round,
tannin structure and balanced acidity, providing a wine with great style and
integrity. You can drink now but if you cellar for 15 to 20 years you will be
well rewarded!
