2006 Yarra Valley Shiraz – $35

From fruit sourced from the ultra cool, highly elevated ranges at the southern tip of the Yarra Valley, the 2006 Jamsheed Yarra Valley Shiraz was fermented with a greater proportion of whole bunches (80%) providing a gamey, wild 'sauvage' tone to the fruit. Graphite ashen mineral textures wrapped around pure black cherry fruit.

2006 Great Western Shiraz – $35

Made from shiraz vines planted in the 50’s, what else do you need to say?

Immense blue/black colour and a dense sumptuous body, this wine is going to be a serious ager. I couldn’t believe how small the berries were, almost like puy lentils. This wine is a perfect showcase of what old vine age adds to a wine. Liquorice, black pepper and sweet blackberries dominate the nose. Salted liquorice on entry and then folds of brambled black fruits follow with silky mature tannins driving through the palate.
