Tasting Notes for Petaluma Shiraz 2002 75cl:
TROPHY WINNER, INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE 2006
Exotic ripe mulberry and spices, faint anise and fresh cracked black pepper. Flavours are sweet and aromatic, almost of cinnamon, clove. The tannins are firm but finely grained and the finish is savoury with a hint if lingering spicy fruit.
Press Coverage:
"This has very good, rich plum fruit on the nose and a delicious melt-in-the-mouth ripeness to it. Simply delicious. Very classy and without hesitation worth the price tag."
Catharine Lowe, Wine & Spirit - 2006-06-01
Producer Information:
Petaluma is one of Australia's most important producers, famous for seeking out the finest terroirs in South Australia rather than taking a one-site-fits-all approach to its grapes. Riesling (one of Australia-s very best) comes from the Hanlin Hill vineyard in the Clare Valley, Chardonnay from the cool climate Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills and Cabernet from Coonawarra. Andrew 'Ox' Hardy, a member of the original Hardy wine family and a walking encyclopaedia of South Australian wine, is now the man at the helm, ensuring these vineyards have a very exciting future.
