The 2012 Wolf Blass White Label Robe Mount Benson Shiraz Cab,
RRP $65 My Price $27.99
A traditional Australian blend taken to new heights of elegance, drawing fruit from the rugged coastal regions of Robe and Mount Benson to craft a restrained, intricate wine with concentrated fruit flavours and a hint of regional minerality.
Intense aromas of mulberry, raspberry, plum and rhubarb are interspersed with complex spice, black pepper, liquorice and bittersweet chocolate. A seamless structure and lingering finish are focused by fine, silky tannins and perfectly balanced acidity.
REGIONAL SOURCE 74% Robe – 26% Mount Benson
GRAPE VARIETY 83% Shiraz – 17% Cabernet Sauvignon
WINEMAKING Harvested at optimum maturity and flavour ripeness, fruit from individual vineyards was crushed separately and fermented in small open-top fermenters. A mix of plunging and gentle pumping over was used to optimise flavour, colour and tannin extraction, giving the wine rich concentration and depth of fruit while retaining plush, supple tannins. The wines were left on skins until dry to lengthen tannins and enhance palate line and finish.
MATURATION After gentle pressing, individual vineyard batches were matured in a combination of seasoned and new French and American oak barrels for 18 months to enhance texture and complexity. The wines were carefully assessed and blended just prior to bottling.
WINE ANALYSIS Alc/vol: 14.5% - pH: 3.41 - Acidity: 6.8 g/L
PEAK DRINKING Will develop with age, softening and mellowing to reward a decade or more of careful cellaring.
COLOUR Deep, vibrant purple.
NOSE Intense aromas of mulberry, raspberry, plum and rhubarb are interspersed with complex spice, black pepper, liquorice, bittersweet chocolate and a distinctive regional minerality.
PALATE A restrained, intricate blend with an elegant, concentrated palate layered with a complex meld of flavours. A seamless structure, silky texture and lingering finish are focused by fine tannins and perfectly balanced acidity.
2012 Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz
My Price $28.50 from $47.30
From an absolute 10/10 vintage in South Australia, this is a classic Kalimna - juicy, ripe, generous and carrying the richness of American oak with those classic Penfolds tannins. Built for the long haul and already in good form.
2011 Rockford Basket Press Shiraz Single Bottle
3 x 750 ml Bottles | RRP: $180.00 | Our Price: $119.99 | Cracka Rating: 5/5
Producer: Rockford Type: Red Varietal: Shiraz Region: Barossa Valley, SA
Rockford can only be described as an icon, no matter how overused that word may be. It has a devoted band of customers who buy most of the wine through the cellar door or mail order (Rocky OCallaghans entrancing annual newsletter is like no other). Some wine is sold through restaurants, and there are two retailers in Sydney, and one each in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Whether they will have the Basket Press Shiraz available is another matter; it is as scarce as Henschke Hill of Grace (but less expensive). Ben Radford, whom I first met in South Africa some years ago, has been entrenched as Rockys right-hand man, and is destined to take over responsibility for winemaking when the time comes for Rocky to step back from an active role. Exports to the UK, Canada, Switzerland, Russia, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, China and NZ.
