Margan Shiraz - Hunter Valley, Australia
| The grapes for this wine were picked from forty year old vines growing on the red basalt volcanic clay of our Timbervines Vineyard. With an average yield of only one tonne per acre the fruit for this wine was intensely concentrated in flavour. |
|
|
| Purple in colour and of full bodied density this wine displays a subtle but rich combination of spicy pepper, berries and hints of typical Hunter Valley earth. It is beautifully balanced with long, smooth tannins. It has been aged in a mixture of old and new french oak barriques to add complexity. | ||
| The wine has soft tannins to allow for early enjoyment. However, it should continue to develop more complex flavours over the next three years with bottle age. The wine should cellar until at least 2020. |
