Pair with lamb, game, red meats in red wine sauces & soft cheeses. A treat to drink now & will age well for 7-10 years. Deep ruby & a highly aromatic nose with black fruit aromas (black cherry & black currant). Undertones of dark chocolate, white pepper & eucalyptus. Sleek & lively with acidity, this is restrained overall, spreading its flavours of plum, black olive & sweet leather over a fine-grained frame, lilting on the finish. Drink now through 2018. Harvey Steiman, wine spectator, August 2013 Explosive black berry & pomegranate-like flavours on the palate with perfectly matched tannins that give the wine a long, lasting aftertaste. This wine is a collaborative effort between two renowned wine families; Chapoutier from the Rhone Valley in France, & the Terlato family of Napa Valley in California. Grapes come from the spectacular Malakoff estate, low-yielding (less than 1t/acre), high-concentration vineyard site in Central Victoria. The soil profile of the Malakoff vineyard is remarkably similar to that of France's northern Rhone Valley & the area's climate is ideal for growing superior quality Shiraz. 100% Shiraz. ...

Limited stock. Soil: Red sandy loams layer with a thickness between 10cm & 60cm, overlying a several deep draining limestone bed. Harvest: Harvest at full maturity, avoiding over ripeness. Vinification: The grapes are destemmed & fermented in cement or stainless steel tanks. The maceration could last 3 to 4 weeks, with a gentle work on the marc, in the matter of extracting soft & elegant tannins. Maturing: 50% of the wine is aged for 10-12 months in French oak barrels. The rest matures in tanks in order to encourage the fruit aromas.

Colour: intense red colour. Nose: complex with black fruit aromas (blackcurrant & blueberries) some peppery smoky notes. Palate: very round structure, slightly woody, very soft. Discrete round tannins with fruit aromas showing through. This fruity wine is ready to drink now but should improve after 2-3 years cellaring. Ageing: it is a new style of Syrah in Australia, a wine meant to favour finesse.
