It has a bright and lustrous colour, palish red with a little crimson hue. Nose is bright red fruits with a raspberry, rhubarb combo working with some light pepperiness. Palate is quite beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's medium-bodied, but there is good flavour intensity as you might expect from this warmer year, which actually produced some outstanding fruit in Pemberton, and this is a compelling example. \u003cbr\u003eThe oak influence is quite light with just 18% new, but it sits harmoniously. Lovely wine.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e.....................................................................................................\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first Picardy Shiraz was produced in 1997. An elegant, complex, rich, cool climate style wine, this variety is exceeding expectations and will continue to improve through cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDan says that this wine is made using many techniques which we use in our Pinot Noir production but using Shiraz grapes, giving a wine in the style of the traditional old-world Shiraz. Picardy Shiraz typically contains about 4% Malbec and 2% Viognier (co-fermented) to give sweetness of fruit and greater complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts notable features include: excellent colour, pronounced fruit flavour, low pH without high acidity and fine-grained tannins. This is a complex wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e* Please \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eselect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e any mix of 6, 12, 18, 24 etc… bottles as we can only ship orders rounded to the nearest 6 pack.
