Tasting notes
This delicous Shiraz is rich and generously loaded with satsuma plum, blackberry, mocha and spice on the palate. Subtle French oak adds layers and complexity and the wine has great length with soft tannins. The finish is long lasting, delicious, dense, and fruit packed.
Description
The grapes used to make this wine have been sourced from select vineyards in McLaren Vale, including those planted on the original Goss property. With dominant winter rainfall, warm, dry summers that are tempered by the proximity to the Gulf of St. Vincent and low humidity, McLaren Vale has one of the most consistent climates in which to grow premium wine grapes. From various Shiraz blocks grown on clay soils, parcels are vinified and matured separately. Harvest period was from late February until mid-March.
Estate
A pioneer farmer and landholder of note, Thomas Goss, his wife Mary and their children arrived in South Australia from Devonshire in 1849. After success in the Victorian gold fields he acquired sections of farming land between McLaren Vale and Willunga which are now home to some of the region’s leading vineyards.
