Mr. Black’s LITTLE BOOK SHIRAZ 2019

Short description

The fruit is de-stemmed into medium sized stainless steel fermentation vessels, temperature controlled and pumped over the skins twice a day for 5-7 days allowing for maximum extraction. The wine is then pressed off skins and into stainless steel tanks where a natural secondary ferment will occur (MLF). Once complete the wine is racked and sulphured into a mixture of seasoned French and American oak where it is aged for between 18 and 24 months before bottling
Classification/ Type

Australian red wine
Tasting

o Color: Magenta red
o Nose: Red and Black fruits (berry notes), with underlying black pepper and smoked meats
o Palate: Medium to full-bodied with well-rounded tannins and a fresh line of acidity. The structure and great length lend themselves elegantly to the lingering ripe black fruits, oak spice and sweet vanilla of this wine
