Margan, Shiraz, Hunter Valley

Dark fruited, plenty of spice, oaky on the first day. On the second day, the oak wasn't so obvious, the fruit a little more red fruited, and some earth was showing. Nice acidity and medium body, with fine tannins. Would be nice to see with age

Ripe nose of plum, prune, and blackberry jam. Light, fresh mouthfeel contrasts with ripe flavours of prune, blackcurrant, and fennel.

Tasting Notes Dark plum in colour this wine is displaying ripe berries, hints of black pepper and regional earthiness typical of Hunter Valley Shiraz. Palate length is enhanced with subtle integration of new and used oak which adds complexity and depth to the wine. Although drinking well now, the firm tannin structure will ensure this Shiraz will develop further over the next 7-10 years. Andrew Margan, Winemaker
