Produced from low cropping Shiraz vines from out Hunter Valley vineyard this wine has been aged in new French oak barriques, The bouquet displays intense blackberry and plums with the palate powerful yet elegant. This wine will develop further in the bottle.
Sourced from our Milbrovale and Oakvale vineyards, this outstanding fruit was harvested at 13.5° Baumé. Small batches of fruit were hand plunged in open fermenters and matured in French and American barriques for 12 months. The wine received a minimum of 6 months bottle maturation prior to release.
“Liquorice, blackberry conserve and spicy aromas. The full-bodied palate has flavour complexities and loads of fruit. Great balance between sweetness and oak and soft voluptuous flavours linger.”
“…Oakvale Peppercorn Shiraz 2000…offers an amazingly intense yet still very fine interpretation of the Hunter Valley shiraz style. It was made from dry grown, old shiraz vines on the Oakvale vineyard..”
