The Brothers Shiraz 2021
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
A rich, lifted nose with notes of dark plums, blackcurrant, spice and clean, fresh oak highlights.
Wine Making
Our 2021 The Brothers Shiraz has undergone extended maturation in both barrel and bottle prior to release. This time has allowed the fruit, oak and tannins to fully integrate and deliver a truly memorable Rutherglen Shiraz. After fermentation for ten days using closed fermenters, the wine was aged in French oak puncheons for 2.5 years.
Cellaring
Whilst approachable now, this complex and structured wine will reward those with the patience to cellar to 2035 and beyond.

Palate:
Full bodied, powerful & velvety smooth with concentrated plum and blackcurrant. Carefully selected oak overlays the fruit adding a touch of spice, whilst fine grippy tannins provide balance and length. A powerful wine with the natural building blocks to age and develop in bottle.
