Product Description

Winemaker: Sam Watkins & the Boar’s Rock Winemakers

Winemaking Notes- August, 2016

Varietals

Shiraz- 100%

Vintage

2014 was characterised by a short, warm ripening season with full flavours.

Region

86% Langhorne Creek

14% McLaren Vale

Colour

Clear, deep, ruby in colour with bright purple rim.

Aroma

Pronounced, developing nose with primary characters of blackcurrant, dark fruits, and pungent spices like liquorice. This links into secondary characters of toasty, vanilla oak.

Palate

Plenty of rounded, velvety tannins open this wine with fruity sweetness enhanced by rich oak filling the mid palate. The spices and secondary characters then linger on the back palate.

Cellaring Potential

A good line of acid holds the wine together to allow the dark fruits to develop into more complex tertiary characters that complement the secondary notes of oaky highlights. This wine has had enough time in barrel to be approachable now, but can also appreciate a few years in the bottle to maximise the flavour integration and complexity.

Technical

Bottled July 2016 under screw cap.

Alcohol 14.8%

pH 3.58

TA 6.5

Food Matching

Rich, red meat driven dishes and hearty, legume heavy stews

Langhorne Creek is historically a red wine grape growing region that is well known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz varietals. The soil profile of this area is deep alluvial sandy loams, and the region has a temperate, Mediterranean climate which allows an even ripening period which produces fruity flavours without being over-ripe and jammy.
