| Post subject: | Harrowgate Victoria Shiraz 2006 M&S 8.99 |
Winemaker and winery: Toby Barlow, Mitchelton. Grape varieties: 100% Shiraz. Region: Goulburn Valley, Central Victoria, Australia. Viticulture/Vinification: Old vines, low yields, open canopy, minimal or no irrigation, all combine to produce fruit of outstanding quality. Extended skin contact for three weeks, before being pressed and then put into French oak casks for 14-16 months. Availability: October – 150 stores. A rotting smell. Dark, baked fruit. Perhaps a plum crumble that’s been out in the kitchen for 3 or 4 days and is starting to go off. Not absolutely appealing. Great taste though. Minty and fresh. It’s 14.5% but doesn’t feel it. The smell might put you off, and I think you might be right. 23/03/10 |
