2009 Ad Lib Middle of Everywhere Shiraz, Frankland River, Australia 750ml
This Shiraz is classic Australian: aromas of blueberries, oak spice and white pepper, with flavors of berry fruit, cinnamon and nutmeg. Great with barbecue.
“Shiraz from the Middle of Everywhere”
A fragrant wine, deep and inky in colour with a perfume of violets and dried flowers. Ripe black cherry and blackberry fruits accented with black pepper. The finely textured tannins allow this medium-bodied wine to carry the juicy, sweet black fruit across the palate. Drink with duck ragout.
Moderate Summer months allowed for a gentle ripening and juicy Shiraz berries as a result. Berries and bunches were small, resulting in a wine of intense colour and flavour. The fruit was selected and hand-picked from sites across Frankland River. Cold maceration for four days proceeded by a long, cool fermentation. The wine spent six months in new and one year old oak prior to bottling.
