Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz 2010
Dalwhinnie, located near the small village of Moonambel in the heart of the Pyrenees region of western Victoria, is one of Victoria's oldest family-run vineyards. Dalwhinnie has been growing grapes for nearly 50 years and the 16-hectare vineyard is now fully mature. At 595 metres above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees district vineyards. The vineyard is located in a naturally undulating trough which falls away from the hills, forming an amphitheatre nestled into the ranges.
Opaque black purple colour with deep very dark purple black hue. The nose offers up perfumed scents of blackberry, liquorice, some vanillin oak, dried meats and blackpepper. Elegantly structured the palate delivers rich yet restrained flavours of blackberry, liquorice, dried meats, subtle spicy toasty oak and blackpepper. Dryish finish with very fine grained solid tannin structure showing excellent integration. Long blackpepper, blackberry, liquorice and spice aftertaste.
