Country: Australia

Winemaking Notes:
The longest-living of our Shiraz wines wear the ‘Black Hinge’ label with pride. Power and richness, but balanced, in ripeness, alcohol, and oak. A small open fermenter, perfect for gentle hand plunging, was used to ensure soft but thorough cap management. Run to barrel for natural malolactic fermentation and a long sleep of 16 months in fine French
oak barrels.

Tasting Note:
The final wine has terrific structure, is concentrated, dense, and rich in spices and berry fruits leaving you with a luscious lingering mouth feel from every sip. It will reward the consumer with drinking pleasure for at least a decade. Not unlike the 2013 vintage that’s still ageing well.

Food Pairing: Ideal with dishes rich in beef, especially Wagu.
