2020 Mt Benson Shiraz

2020 Mt Benson Shiraz

A medium to full-bodied, inky black, spicy little trophy winner.

The 2020 Shiraz is a beautifully balanced, fruit and spice-driven wine.

It'll pair fantastically with a wide range of foods and is very approachable upon release. Further complexity will be gained if cellared correctly for 5+ years.

Flavour Profile

Inky purple with spice, cracked pepper, violets, vanilla, blueberry and clove
aromas.

Spicy and medium-bodied, this wine delights with vibrant, fresh dark fruits such as blueberry, cherry and plum that shimmer alongside the silky mouthfeel and precise French oak flavour.

*Vegan friendly

Winemaking

Picked late in the season to obtain maximum ripeness, then fermented for 14 days in warm, open fermenters. Regular hand-plunging was employed.

Pressed when sugar dry and put straight to oak. Complete malolactic fermentation was undertaken whilst on full lees. Matured in fine-grained French oak for 16 months, 30% of which was new.

Food Matches

A great match to wood fired pizza, steak, beef stews and tomato-based Italian dishes
