Vibrant red/black colour with a deep opaque centre. The nose displays a complex blend of violets and spicy black pepper notes of the Shiraz with the more savoury licorice aromas from the Tempranillo. Shiraz and Tempranillo are wonderful partners; two old varieties coming together to make a new vibrant blend. The Shiraz brings all the Australian fruit power deep plum flavours with a peppery edge in a fleshy fruit sweet palate. The Tempranillo adds savoury elements and complex tannin structure to the wine resulting in a more complete wine than either of the two components could make on their own. This wine has all the sweet fleshiness that we expect in Shiraz with the added benefit of textural complexity. Bancroft note
Grower's Profile: Hay Shed Hill
Bancroft Wines is delighted to be working once again with one of Australiaís foremost winemakers, Michael Kerrigan. Michael has had a prestigious career in winemaking, having spent over 12 years as Chief winemaker at Howard Park and Madfish; both of which were first launched into the UK market with great success by Bancroft Wines. First planted in 1973, the Hay Shed Hill vineyard has the mission of producing world class wines that reflect the place of their origin; wines of depth and flavour that are true to region and true to the vineyard. The Hay Shed Hill wines are vineyard selected and nurtured in the winery to allow the true character of the site to be expressed. Typical cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon aromas of lively tropical fruits and fresh herbaceous grassy characters make up an intense, crisp and refreshing wine. The Chardonnay exhibits fresh cut pear and honeydew melon aromas with some zesty citric notes. The Shiraz Tempranillo is a fascinating blend of violets and spicy, black pepper notes of the Shiraz with the more savoury licorice aromas from the Tempranillo. The Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense and rich bouquet led by the ripest cassis and berry fruits. Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and mint, with cedar oak notes on the finish.
