Description

Within Lou Miranda Estate vineyards in the Southern Barossa Valley there is a block of bush vine Mataro planted in 1898 making the vines 118 years old for the 2016 vintage. The fruit sourced from this block exhibit intensely brooding earthy sinewy flavours and tannins. This is blended with Shiraz (planted in 1972 & 1995), the fruit from this block gave rich ripe concentrated fruit flavours. The combination creates a very distinctive highly aromatic flavoursome red wine.
The wine experience will be of a complex aroma of ripe dark berries and spice notes with savoury dense chewy satisfying tannins. The abundant pronounced tannins of the Mataro for which the variety in known is complemented by the plush richness of Barossa Valley Shiraz.
The Shiraz Mataro blend has spent 36+ months in predominately seasoned American oak to tame the Mataro tannins and complex the exuberant primary fruit of the Shiraz. The result is a wine that is synergistic and harmonised combining the strength of each variety with the palate having luscious complexity, length, structure and rich fruit character combined with oak derived characters and spice with fully matured tannins adding a savoury textural element.
Lingering coffee charry smokey flavours on the finish ensures this deep dark red with developing brick red hues indicating its maturity has amazing length and persistence.
