First Drop '2 Percent' 2006
The reserve Shiraz is sourced from vineyards in Seppeltsfield (43%), Greenock (43%) and Ebenezer (14%). Dense, earthy dark berry fruits, with hints of tobacco and cocoa are further enhanced by subtle use of oak. 2% Albarino, this wine is a dark plum color. The bouquet consists of lifted black fruit with hints of mocha and spice. Puts the ‘ph’ in fat.
