Blue Pyrenees Shiraz 2014

The 2014 Blue Pyrenees Shiraz is produced from many different parcels of Pyrenees fruit grown on low-yielding exposed vines creating a wine of intense flavours and naturally soft tannin yet the classic rich Shiraz structure.

The warm 2013/2014 growing season provided early rains, but was finished by a warm dry summer & autumn which made ripening to optimum easy for Shiraz of this region and vintage. Maturation for 18 months in a combination of new to 8 year old French and American oak barrels has added softness, texture and complexity to a wine of Pyrenees varietal fruit flavours.

Bright ruby red in colour. The regional blueberry fruit gives way to the classic Victorian licorice and spice notes and a vibrant mid-palate of chocolate, vanilla and balanced acidity. The soft tannin structure of this wine allows lingering fruit flavours to shine throughout the long dry finish. Winery Notes
