Shantell

2001 Shiraz

Winemaker’s comments

COLOUR
Deep ruby of medium intensity

AROMA
The 2001 Shiraz shows typical blackberry and spice aromas with classy vanilla oak.
 
PALATE
The complex blend of fresh, lively blackberry and spice flavours are complemented by cracked  pepper and firm fine tannins.  The mouth feel is smooth and the finish long and satisfying.
 
The 2001 Shiraz shows the fruit intensity expected from a very low cropping vintage. This well balanced wine has the potential to reward those who can cellar it for 5 to 8 years.
 
SERVING SUGGESTION
Lamb Cutlets on baked Parsnip and wilted Spinach Leaves or your favourite cheese platter.
