Slight Back Label Issue

A classic medium-bodied Shiraz palate, fine and silky. Picked from one of the oldest vineyards including Undoolya, a rare fragment of the original 1890s fruit colony planting. Wynns 'Old Vines' Shiraz is a superb example of Coonawarra’s cool climate style.

Shiraz (formerly known as 'Hermitage') is an important part of Coonawarra’s history. The acknowledged reputation of Coonawarra for age-worthy wines has largely centered on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blends. However, the very early history (in the 1890s) centered on other varieties â€?particularly Shiraz. Today Wynns is privileged to hold Shiraz vineyards on many prime locations within Coonawarra. Vines for this label are between 30 and 110 years old. Wynns ‘Black Labelâ€?Shiraz is a superb example of Coonawarra's cool climate style. Displaying great fruit character, this wine has rich and complex flavors of red berries, spice and chocolate with layered fruit underpinned by tightly focused tannins.

Pristine berry fruits dominate the nose. Initially, the reds fruits are apparent - cranberries and redcurrants but then there is darker fruit more blackcurrant. A classic medium-bodied Shiraz palate. Crunchy dark berries with black pepper and some sweeter cinnamon notes.
