Note di degustazione
Bright purple. Smoky, high-pitched aromas of cherry, blackberry and candied flowers pick up spice and mineral qualities with aeration. Densely packed dark berry preserve and violet pastille flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity. This concentrated and distinctly lively Syrah finishes with excellent focus, its smooth tannins folding effortlessly into the vibrant fruit.

Coming from 40-year-old vines that are two tractor widths between the Torbreck Decendant vineyard and Greenock Creek on Roennfeldt Road, the 2014 Shellac Vineyard Shiraz has a vibrant medium-depth purple color and equally vibrant nose of red and black cherries, crushed black raspberries, mulberries and roses with hints of yeast extract, pepper, cinnamon stick and dusty earth. Medium-bodied and almost Pinot-like in it elegance if not flavors, it fills the palate with spiced cherry compote flavors supported by fine-grained tannins, finishing with great length and lift. Not your typical style of Barossa Shiraz but it is very, very delicious.
