2019 Bethany First Villages Shiraz

Parcels of fruit were harvested and fermented separately prior to being put to oak hogsheads for 6-18 months maturation with the balance of time in stainless steel to retain freshness. The final blend was composed a month prior to bottling to give all the composite parts time to come together.

Dark purple with crimson highlights. A strong, forceful nose of compressed dark berries, lifted floral notes and hints of spiced oak. Powerful dark red and black fruits come to the fore with a lift of sweet aromatics curling through the palate. A hint of spice and savoury mineral character adds to the complexity and intensity. Dense and chewy tannins give a grip and texture that envelops the fruit and delivers a long and lingering finish.
