Broken Stone Shiraz 2001

Veritas 2003 - Gold
The 2001 vintage is the second in a row characterised by high summer temperatures and dry conditions. We therefore harvested about 10 days earlier than the 1999 vintage. Full tannic ripeness was achieved with the highest concentration of any shiraz produced here to date. The wine is typical Shiraz with smokey, coffee, leather, toast and vanilla on the nose. A very well structured wine with hints of cherry, and rich dried plums on the palate.
