Mothers Milk, Shiraz, Barossa, 0.75L, 2020

Description;

SLURPY, SAVOURY AND TEXTURED – SO DRINK UP!!

This Barossa Shiraz is made for drinking! Soft, juicy and textured it is balanced with a fresh mouth feel and makes you go back for more. Sourced from vineyards, in the Barossa & Eden valleys it’s fruit laden, savory and dangerously easy to drink! It is matured for 10 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads to allow the fruit to express itself.
The fruit is crushed, destemmed and fermented at temperatures ranging from 20-23°C for 7 days on skins. The ferment is managed by a variety of techniques, including ‘aerative pump overs’ and ‘drain and returns’ which assist in extracting colour, flavour and tannin from the grapes. At the end of fermentation, it is drained/pressed, and transferred to older French oak hogsheads to undergo MLF. Post MLF, minimal sulphur dioxide is added, and the wines mature sur lie for 10 months.

 

Tasting Notes;

Garnet red with purple hues. A complex nose of dark cherry and blackberry aromas with a hint of forest floor and spice. On the palate it has vibrant dark cherry and blackberry with hint of all spice’ balanced with an even, textural palate with soft, supple finish.

 

Food Pairings;

This exceptional Shiraz pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted meats, such as lamb or beef, as well as hearty stews and casseroles. It also complements aged cheeses.
