THE WINERY

• The grapes were picked, crushed and destemmed and inital fermentation happened on the skins creating the deep red colour.
• The malolactic fermentation occured with specific yeast strains in barrel to develop soft sweet spice flavours giving the wine a rounder fuller mouth feel.
• The VNO Shiraz is aged in a combination of French and American Oak barrels for 12 months.

THE WINE

• Aromas of blackberry, spice and plum are just what you would hope from the deep red purple colour this wine presents.
• A rich palate of concentrated ripe fruit, nice round tannins, some spice, good length and lingering finish.
• Enjoy it now or it would cellar nicely for up to 3 years.

THE MEAL

• Enjoy with freshly hunted venison or a nice piece of steak.
