LEASINGHAM Classic Clare Provis Vineyard Shiraz, Clare Valley

Dense garnet colour. An intense nose of brambly fruit, crushed violets and coffee on the nose with hints of leather and mint. The palate is medium bodied with flavours of blackberries, blood plums and dark chocolate. Ripe, earthy tannins are supported by cedary oak and balanced by fine acidity and great length.

This is the flagship wine of the stable, made largely from 100 year-old Shiraz vines in the Clare Valley. The Aberfeldy label has long been synonymous with quality, representing Tim Adams best wine. Year after year, this wine continues to deliver the best that Clare Valley Shiraz has to offer. Picked at optimum maturity and following fermentation on skins for 14 days, the wine rested in new, carefully selected American oak hogsheads for 24 months before blending, fining and bottling. The wine has been sealed with a WAK closure, an internally threaded screw cap with a traditional look, and is worthy of keeping for up to 20 years in good conditions.

This is a stylish shiraz by Mount Horrocks, classic in character with mouth-filling red and black fruits, rich and juicy. The palate is beautifully elegant, balanced with long fine tannins, spicy fruit and oak.

Ripe plums, spice, compote, and fresh ripe blackberries on the nose. A lively, strikingly astute entry on the palate, with flavours of fresh, ripe berries enhanced by hints of spice and clove. The flow is calm and even with effortless tannins.

The Adelina vineyards are situated in Spring Farm Valley, just south of the township of Clare. Hand-picked, the Estate Shiraz fruit is detemmed and mildly crushed, fermentation and maceration occurs over approx 35 days and the wine is pressed to barrel for malo and maturation.
