Wakefield Masterstroke Shiraz 2019
Region Limestone Coast (60%) + Clare Valley (40%)
Colour At release, the wine is a dark red colour with ruby red hues.
Nose The wine has an enticing, lifted aroma of plum, blackcurrant and dark cherry fruits along with a bouquet of subtle mocha and a touch of oak derived spice.
Palate The palate is plump & generous with ripe fruit characters of plum and blackberry. Mocha coffee and subtle spice from oak maturation balance the fruit flavours. The wine is medium to full-bodied with a fleshy mid-palate and supple tannin structure. It is a well balanced wine with great texture, good length and enjoyable fruit on the finish.
Oak Maturation The wine was matured in a combination of French (10%) and American (90%) oak for twelve months followed by fining, minimal filtration and then bottling.
Cellaring Notes Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions.
