Tasting note by Ambrose Nock

"Rich and concentrated, with black and blue fruits and a lick of aniseed for good measure. There is an uplifting presence in the 2022, with coating, chalky tannins that drive the palate, huddling tightly under the same umbrella as red fruits, raspberries and a fleck of aniseed and earth.

In the context of Picardy, this is a powerful wine bursting with potential, though somewhat taut and tightly coiled at present.
I’d highly recommend some time in the cellar, or a good splash in the decanter to unveil the seductive cool climate spices and perfume."

2022 Picardy Shiraz

AU$32.00Price
Quantity

The first Picardy Shiraz was produced in 1997. An elegant, complex, rich, cool climate style wine, this variety is exceeding expectations and will continue to improve through cellaring.

Dan says that this wine is made using many techniques which we use in our Pinot Noir production but using Shiraz grapes, giving a wine in the style of the traditional old world Shiraz. Picardy Shiraz typically contains about 4% Malbec and  2% Viognier (co-fermented) to give sweetness of fruit and greater complexity.

Its notable features include: excellent colour, pronounced fruit flavour, low pH without high acidity and fine-grained tannins. This is a complex wine.
