Description
This, my third Shiraz under the El Desperado Range is a blend of grapes from both our Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek vineyards,and with warm days and cool nights, it provides ideal growing conditions for this varietal. I have taken the finest characteristics of each, and hand-crafted a full bodied wine that can be both a drink now style or cellar nicely for the medium term. As the crow flies its only 20 kms between these blocks, but the Hills fruit brings lifted raspberry, cola and pomegranate, with a bright balanced acidity on the palate, while the Creek fruit infuses a generous earthiness with ripe plum and blackcurrant’s and the quotidian soft, long tannins.
