Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished Rutherglen Shiraz presents a vibrant crimson colour with a bright purple edge, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of fruit harvested at optimum flavour ripeness from Rutherglen’s warm growing conditions, showcasing the artisanal craftsmanship of winemaker John Coughlan. The convenient 187ml single serve format makes it ideal for any occasion.
Aroma
The nose is generous and inviting, jam-packed with rich, dark primary fruits and spicy chocolate oak creating a sophisticated aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects the concentrated intensity of Rutherglen Shiraz, shaped by the season’s consistently warm temperatures and the careful combination of American and French oak maturation.
Palate
The generous palate is juicy, supple and round, with rich dark fruit and spicy chocolate oak in perfect harmony. Three months of maturation in a combination of American and French oak adds depth and complexity without overwhelming the vibrant primary fruit character. The finish is satisfying and persistent — delicious now, with cellaring potential for a further two to three years.
Pairs With
This exceptional Rutherglen Shiraz is a natural companion to herb-basted rotisserie lamb, BBQ T-bone steaks, slow-braised beef, hearty pasta dishes, aged hard cheeses, or rich game, making it ideal for weekend entertaining and special occasions, with the convenient 187ml single serve format perfect for events, gifting and on-the-go enjoyment.
