2006 Woodstock Shiraz Cabernet
Background
In this classic Australian blend, Shiraz provides fleshy fruit, spice and middle palate weight, and the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a sturdy backbone and structured texture. A perfect synergy of 2 prominent Australian red varieties
Winemaking
Fruit for this wine was sourced from the estate as well as neighbouring vineyards in McLaren Vale. It spent over 18 months in a combination of 2 and 3 year old seasoned French and American oak to enhance subtle complexity without the dominance of oak.
The Wine
A burst of juicy grape flavours showing dark berries, black currants and a touch of spice. It shows good harmony of primary and secondary characters with a hint of complexity from maturation in 2 and 3 year American and French oak barrels. It is clean, vibrant and approachable with juicy savoury tannins built around its fine linear structure.
Serving Suggestion
Slow braised Osso Bucco served with mashed potatoes and lightly steamed French beans. A splash of Woodstock Shiraz Cabernet in the sauce while cooking would make this match perfect!
