“This is a super-tasty red filled with blackberry and Black Doris plum characters with hints of clove, dark chocolate and walnuts. The palate is full and friendly, and shows excellent palate weight and richness, finishing long and sumptuous. At its best: now to 2017.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Unabashed in its ability to match the bold, rich flavours of its Antipodean counterparts, The Mimic Shiraz is a southern Spanish take on an old favourite. Displaying a plethora of ripe, dark fruits, hints of mocha, vanilla and spice, this Aussie bashing red, mimics the strident style that has found such favour in the southern hemisphere. Old bush vines (average 30years) are lovingly tended to produce a small crop of intensely fruity berries, all of which are hand harvested. 

After fermentation, 80% of the wine spends 3 months in French oak, before blending with the unoaked wine and bottling. A deep, rich ruby colour. The nose is a heady mix of plum, cassis, damson and smooth vanilla with a touch of spice and very slight touch of mint. The palate is equally impressive, showing more dark fruits, cherry, plum, more savoury damson and creamy smooth vanilla, lingering with structured acidity and lasting warmth on the end palate. Pair with chargrilled burgers, smoked meats - excellent at a BBQ.
