2008 Plantagenet "Mount Barker" Great Southern Shiraz
One 750ml bottle
Luscious cherry and blackberry aromas greet the nose, wrapped with chocolate and vanilla. Underlying spicy, peppery and tobacco notes abound that distinguish a classic Shiraz. A sumptuous, textural palate with not a thing out of place, layered complexity and long berry flavors coated with lingering spicy cherry flavors.
The dry, cool to mild climate of the Great Southern region is well suited to the production of a spicy Shiraz of great depth of flavor and structure. Through careful viticulture and winemaking and moderate use of French oak, Plantagenet endeavor to produce a wine that will express its sense of place and deliver harmonious and compelling flavors.
