Description

Picardy has proven Pemberton Shiraz can be fabulous. This wine will please those who enjoy cool climate grown Shiraz as well as those who cherish some earthy complexities. Aged in high quality Meyrieux small oak barrels. the wine is complex and unique. It has a deep purple red colour and rich. ripe aromas of black cherry and plum. The palate has a fleshy texture with some density and offers sweet fruit with spicy. gamy overtones. Tannins are generous but supple. Impressive length and balance complete the picture. Great drinking with red meat dishes.This wine has been made even more complex by the use of 3% Viognier and 3% Malbec in the blend. The Viognier is used to sweeten the front palate and silk out the tannins while the Malbec adds some ripe dark fruit characters.

“Stylish Shiraz of poise and elegance. Silky smooth palate with fine ripe tannins. fine grained oak and excellent fruit all held nice together. The palate has a spicy character. which is sustained. Lingers in the mouth. Still needs a little time to really come together. ” Ray Jordan

“While I haven ‘t always been a fan of the Picardy Shiraz (preferring the elegance of its Pinot). in 2005 the Pannells have nailed it so comprehensively that I ‘m thinking of eating humble pie. This is superb supple. round and fleshily smooth with good depth and density of blackberry and mulberry flavours. a cedary oak edge. and substantial ripe. fine knit tannins that are held in check by it ‘s fruit weight. Power and opulence make this a bargain of moun mental proportions. Limited availability. Quaff on! ” Peter Forrestal. RRP $37
