Vineyard Notes

2010 was an excellent vintage and produced wines that were well balanced with slightly lower yeilds.  The vintage produced some really strong Shiraz with wonderful texture.

Winemakers Notes

Blending is the key with this wine.  The strong Shiraz component demanded more Grenache is 2010.  The Grenache brings perfume and bright red fruits which compiment well with darker fruit flavours of the Shiraz.

Food Pairing

Gourmet Pizza, or any red meat dish.  Charcuterie platter.
