2020 Fe Shiraz

Varietals (%’S):  100% Shiraz.

Region: Geographe, WA

Vintage:  2020 – a classical WA vintage with a warm and dry ripening period moderated by afternoon sea-breezes and cool nights.

Appearance:  Bright, cherry red with ink black tints.

Aroma:  Perfumed nose of vibrant red and blue fruits – cherry, blueberry and violets, with hints of cocoa and spice – white pepper and aniseed.

Palate:  Palate is medium bodied, with juicy plum, blueberry and cherry fruit characters to the fore. Hints of aniseed and roasted meats add spice and savoury complexity while a gentle framework of soft tannins and acid gives length, poise and freshness to the finish.

Oak Detail:  12 months maturation in seasoned French oak barriques with just a hint of new oak.

Cellaring:  Whilst designed to be ready for immediate consumption, this wine will benefit from anywhere up to 4-6 years in the bottle.
