  1. Description
The creation of this limited release cabernet shiraz began in a quest to create something real, different, and aspiringly lofty, together with our trusted partner Dourthe Bordeaux. The French component of this wine was made at two of the Dourthe-owned wineries. Australian components of this wine were made at Penfolds Nuriootpa Winery (South Australia). The French and Australian components were blended and bottled in South Australia.
Appearance:

Bold Red

Alcohol percentage:13.5
Country:Australia
Variety:Merlot
Palate:
An immediate recognition – all is complete and balanced: in proportion, dimensionally full and generous. When approached sideways/laterally – “You get the whole, before the parts.” Shiraz coats the cabernet yet still supporting a classic cabernet graphite core. Flavours, aromatically itemised above, merge to the palate – retronasally with this wine what you smell is certainly what you taste! A lovely weave/texture (not a film) – whilst velvety, granularity of tannins is still apparent. These tannins (and acidity) act as a conveyance for fruit. Yes, an engaging acid liveliness and vivacity – akin to the mouth-watering acidity inherent in many Japanese dishes. Length and persistence – manifested ever-so-softly, with a mineral stamp on the finish. Certainly a thought-provoking, dare we say, cerebral wine.
Please note that taste might differ between individuals
