Tasting Notes:

Deep vibrant garnet in color, the 2012 Mustang Sally Shiraz is an easy drinking wine with aromas of vanilla, plum and cherry with hints of savoury black olive. The palate shows fresh red berries and cherries complimented with tastes of cinnamon, earth and eucalyptus. The smooth, silky tannins give this medium bodied Shiraz a dry, mellow finish.

Winemaker Notes:

This lighter style Shiraz was made by draining part of the juice out of ferment earlier. This allowed less tannins to be extracted, maintaining fresh and young flavors. Aged in seasoned American oak, we ensured that the characters imparted would not cover up the light fruit aromas of this Shiraz.

Food Pairing: Barbequed brisket, grilled lamb chops, shepherd’s pie
