Vintage: 2005;
Shiraz
Our pinnacle Mclaren Vale Shiraz, a wine sourced from a forty year old vineyard in Mclaren Vale. This small cuvee' was created traditionally using small open topped fermenters, a basket press and twenty six months maturation in small French oak cases.
This extended time spent in oak has allowed the 'M' Reserve to be bottled unfined and unfiltered in August 2006, thus preserving the vineyards uniquely individual flavours and characters.
Cellaring Potential At least 12-15 years.
Appearance: Bright red in colour with distinctly youthful crimson hints.
Nose: Powerfully scented yet subtle at the same time, the nose is a rush of chocolate, dark berry fruits and perfumed charry oak.
Palate: Viscous and textured, the 'M' Reserve combines powerful dark fruits, cocoa and mocha flavours with a velveteen complexity that only extended time in quality oak can provide. Fine grained tannins both complement and extend the lingering palate.
Alcohol: 15.0% v/v
