Tasting note
Many-layered Shiraz from South Australia, wafting blossom and black pepper into the nose, mulberry, rhubarb and plum into the mouth, followed by a lasting hit of aniseed, liquorice and spice.
Viticulture
Experience McLaren Vale's 2008 red wine tale, balancing winter's rain, ideal vine setup, and early picking for rich flavours and high acidity. The Dead Arm's finest parcels, picked before the heatwave, embody the best of this vintage.
Vinification
Handcrafted Excellence: Small grape batches gently crushed, separate until final blend. Foot treading mid-fermentation. Basket pressed, aged in French and American oak on lees. No racking, no fining, no filtration, expect harmless bottle deposit. Pure and unadulterated.
Food Match
Red meat such as beef roast or rib-eye.
