Shiraz 2007

The Rosily Vineyard 2007 Shiraz reinforces how well Shiraz is suited to Margaret River, and beautifully demonstrates the delicate harmonies that cooler climate Shiraz can develop with time in the bottle.

» Tasting Notes

Appearance

Clear, bright, deep red / purple with a crimson hue.

Nose

Lifted, dark berry and plum flavours with a distinctive white pepper character.

Palate

Medium to full bodied with a soft velvety mouth feel. Concentrated flavours of dark berries and spice with well-integrated new French oak.

Cellaring

The 2007 Shiraz has already been cellared under our controlled conditions since we bottled it in mid 2009. As a result it is drinking excellently right now, but it has the structure to further develop over the next three to five years.
