Wakefield Estate Jaraman Shiraz 2017

94pts, Jaraman Shiraz 2016 – ‘Lovely intensity, bright blackcurrant, plum, red cherry, plus savoury black olive, chocolate and rich vanilla oak nuances. Long tapering finish, liquorice spice.’ Decanter, Experts Choice, Sarah Ahmed, June 2019 This is a rich, full-bodied wine with intense flavours of ripe dark cherry, plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit, with attractive spicy, charry oak characters of coffee and chocolate. The palate is well balanced with a silky, subtle soft, yet full texture to the mid-palate. The finish is persistent with lingering velvety tannins. Australia’s wine regions provide extraordinary diversity, each with their own distinctive character and iconic style. Wakefield’s Jaraman wines are created from the fusion of two exceptional parcels of fruit from two iconic wine regions in Australia. The winemaking approach ensures the individual regional characteristics shine through, while creating an enticing and intriguing unison that is carefully crafted to be so much more than merely the sum of its parts.
