2016 Frankland Estate Shiraz 750ml
This medium-bodied Shiraz boasts a delightful aroma of raspberries and red fruits, accompanied by an array of spicy notes. You’ll find hints of star anise and remarkable tannins from the regional Ironstone gravel, enhanced by a touch of black pepper and a wave of fruit on the mid-palate.
The wine's complexity is attributed to the three Shiraz clones cultivated in the estate's certified organic vineyards (Houghton’s Clone, 174, and 470) and the eight small parcels that make up 95% of the blend. Additionally, 5% is whole-bunch fermented, with small contributions of Touriga Nacional (2.7%), Malbec (0.9%), Marsanne (0.9%), and Viognier (0.5%).
