Named after the old dam on the beautiful Oakdale property this Hunter Shiraz is the perfect example of what can be achieved from a great vintage.
The vineyard comprises a combination of sandy loam and red clay soils with warm to hot climate conditions typical of the Hunter Valley.
Grown on the estate, the Shiraz grapes were hand picked and barrel fermented in 60% American Oak and 40% French Oak barrels.
Styled on tradition and enhanced by the unique characters of the vineyard it is elegant and flavoursome. It has enticing cassis and mint scents and brings ripe, intense blood plum flavour to the front of the palate.
Coffee cream chocolate, cinnamon and fruit characters meld with lightly applied nutty oak on the middle palate and soft earth tannins come through at the finish.
Enjoyable with almost any food, but ideal with game pie, kangaroo fillet or beef burgundy.
