Powerful Reds
Description:
The concept of blending Shiraz and Viognier is not new. It is derived from the great French wine region of Northern Rhone, in particular, the Cote Rotie area. Cote Rotie has often been described as one of France's finest and most perfumed red wines. W I N E S T Y L E Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz + Viognier 1999 is deep cherry red in colour with purple hues. Lifted floral aromatics surround ripe fleshy plums, chocolate and dried fruits. On the palate, fine tannins support the intense flavours of ripe cherries, liquorice, anise and violets. This wine can be enjoyed now, but will benefit from medium term cellaring. The addition of Viognier to Shiraz intensifies the colour, adds an extra dimension and a wonderful fragrance to the bouquet, and brings softness to the rich and powerful Barossa Shiraz. This rare blend from Yalumba of 87% Shiraz and 13% Viognier is 100% Barossa, with the majority of the fruit sourced from the Eden Valley. (6 x 75 cl)

Yalumba THE OCTAVIOUS Old Vine ShirazBarossaValley Description: Yalumba 'The Octavius' has established a reputation as one of Australia's icon Shiraz wines, an amazing feat considering the first release was the 1990 vintage. Yalumba's The Octavius was once again sourced from dry grown old bushvines that produced low crops of intensely rich and powerful Shiraz fruit. The resulting wine is dense red in colour with a complex nose of spice, pepper, fruitcake, coffee bean, violet and vanillin toasty oak. The palate is truly intense with concentrated layers of plum, licorice and black olives balanced by fine-grained tannins. This wine will see through to the long term and has at least 10 years of cellaring potential. In addition to being sourced from a number of very old vineyards in the Barossa, The Octavius is matured in American oak 'octaves' of only 90 litres capacity. It is the only red wine in the world that is matured in such small barrels. The secret of the wine not becoming overpowered by the oak, is that the oak used is seasoned at Yalumba for eight years before the octaves are crafted. Yalumba is one of a select few wineries in the world who boast their own coopers practising the ancient craft of barrel making. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £235.15

Grant Burge MIAMBA VINEYARD ShirazBarossaValley South Australia
Description: Shiraz has been part of viticulture in the BarossaValley since the 1840s and is ideally suited to the district’s soils and climate. The fruit for this wine comes from the Miamba Vineyard, which is located on deep alluvial soils in the Lyndoch Valley district of the Barossa, in between the renowned Filsell and Cameron Vale Vineyards. The fruit was harvested at full ripeness and after crushing, the shiraz was fermented on skins for seven days in a combination of stainless-steel rotary and static fermenters and open concrete fermenters. After pressing and completion of fermentation, the wine was matured in new and older small American and some French oak for 18 months. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £75.49
