Lourensford Shiraz 2008

The wine has a dense, purple-red colour. Black pepper and all spice aromas precede the gentle oaky flavours. Succulent, ripe fruits coat the mouth and the wine tapers off into a pleasant meatiness.

Serve at 18°C with roasts and chosen cheeses.

Three rack-and-return transfers were executed daily during fermentation. The entire process was carried out with the aid of overhead gantry cranes and satellite tanks to enable minimum handling and the use of gravity. The wine was oak matured for a period of 18 months. During this period the wine was racked regularly and fined with egg whites.
