Balnaves Shiraz 2013 produced excellent shiraz from Dunstan and Kidman vineyards, ripening in late March which is considerably later than in recent years. Matured for 19 months in new (68%) second fill (16%) French oak from Seguin Moreau, Dargaud+Jaegle and Le Grand cooperages. This wine was bottled in December 2014.
Deep red in colour, the nose shows intense perfumed dark blackberry fruit, interwoven with spice and toasty vanillin notes. The palate is medium bodied with fleshy dark liquorice/berry fruit, spicy notes and a soft grainy tannin finish. This wine will improve with further careful cellaring and decanting before drinking.
