Zema Estate Shiraz 2015
An elegant palate of ripe plum and mulberry with a hint of peppery spice.
Well-structured with stylish oak and fine tannins providing a lasting finish.
This wine was made from fruit which was harvested at its optimum maturity.
The wine was fermented for 7 days under controlled temperatures in a combination of rotary and static fermenters.
"Medium purple-red and bright for age. Ripe plum, mulberry and blueberries, herbal notes with air, echoing its cooler region origins. Oak just a whisper in the background. There's no shortage of tannin, perhaps a function of rotofermenter extraction, and this should help it to age gracefully long term."
