Pheasant Farm Shiraz

These Old Vine Shiraz grapes from the Western Rim of the Barossa are deep Garnet that radiates red-purple colours, the perfume is dominated by exotic wood spices like cinnamon and clove, which suggests the taster is smelling a freshly opened Rum and Raisin Chocolate bar. Aromas of damp earth, dark chocolate and cherry plum Christmas cake add volumes to this enticing Old Vine Shiraz. On the taste, it's pure luxury! Ultra smooth, velvet layers of blackberry, plum and rich black liquorice coat the tongue. Fine velvety tannins offer instant enjoyment, although the pleasant lingering flavours all suggest further cellaring will reward the patience.
