Despite a hot and windy day in January causing some vine stress, the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes maintained good varietal character and balanced ripening. The resulting fruit exhibited excellent colour and richness at moderate alcohol levels, contributing to the wine's complexity and structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were handpicked and fermented separately in small open-top fermenters. After a 72-hour cold soak, fermentation began naturally with indigenous yeasts. The ferments were carefully managed with gentle pump-overs to extract colour and flavour while maintaining elegance. The wine was aged in French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and adding texture, spice, and a long, fine-grained tannin profile. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppearance\u003c\/b\u003e: Deep ruby red with aromatic notes of blackberry, cassis, and subtle eucalyptus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate\u003c\/b\u003e: A complex structure with ripe dark fruits of blackberry and plums, complemented by savoury nuances of roasted walnuts, smoked meats, and black olives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish\u003c\/b\u003e: A long, granular tannin profile that adds texture and depth to the wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Shiraz Cabernet blend pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast lamb, or hearty pasta dishes.
