Fowles Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Shiraz 2018
Tasting Notes
Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Shiraz 2018 is a deep youthful vibrant purple. With Lifted blue and dark berry, pepper spice and spicy oak aromas. The palate is a sophisticated combination of rich berries, dark chocolate and oak spice with silky tannins and great balance, length and intensity AWARDS & ACCOLADES
Top 100 Wines - Blackberry and huckleberry flavors are concentrated and plump, with appealing details of black tea, clove and dried mint. Firm tannins never get in the way, firming up slightly on the finish. Drink now. 5,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
Maryann Worobiec, Wine Spectator Magazine
Bursting with dark red-purple fruits flecked with mint, gum leaves, black pepper and blackberry jubes yet it's definitely a savoury wine. Just shy of full-bodied with gritty tannins, and sure the oak adds a smoky, charry overlay but it's not out of place and should continue to amalgamate.

Growing grapes, hunting for our table and raising a farm all help our family to truly understand this land. Inspired by Matt Fowles' passion for hunting and gathering, our Ladies who Shoot their Lunch wines have been crafted to complement the textures and flavours of wild food. Vibrant in colour, intensely aromatic and fine in texture with pristine fruit flavours.
2018 was an outstanding vintage. The year was warm without being too hot, which allowed the vines to ripen the fruit to the degree we desired without any stress, resulting in all aspects of fruit composition being good. Acid was naturally maintained and other critical components of the grape for sound fermentation were plentiful.
This wine was fermented using wild yeast, with its slightly unpredictable nature, this builds more complexity in the wine. This wine was matured in various ways over 12 months as there are many components in the blend. Some parcels were matured in new and old oak, and the remaining parcel was maintained as a fresh fruity parcel in stainless steel.
