Very deep red. The aroma has intense ripe red and black fruits with no overt jammy elements and some complex spiciness and savoury elements and slight Viognier aromatics. The palate is complementary to the aromas, rich round and moderate in weight with intense fruit and some savoury earthy elements, lovely framing spicy persistent tannins and lingering balanced mineral acidity. The wine is very complex and represents the classic Bendigo terrior in an excellent year. The Shiraz fruit is from low yielding vines and was harvested at the appropriate time to ensure optimum balance, ripeness and intensity of flavour. They were destemmed; berries not crushed or pumped to preserve their physical integrity and transferred to a majority of open 4000 L wooden and some stainless steel 5000 L vats. The Viognier was co-fermented with Shiraz in the stainless steel vat to preserve fruit flavour intensity. A combination of different maceration times (mainly pumping over) from 12 to 24 days on skins and a majority of the batches were naturally fermented. The wine was aged in French oak for 18 months.
*What the critics think*
2006 – “Crimson purple; a strikingly opulent wine, the 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier doing all the talking, with a rippling cascade of black fruits and almost powdery but persistent ripe tannins; maturation in older oak exactly the right call .” Rating 95 points / 2021 James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion - 2009
