A youthful fruity blackcurrant aroma is enhanced by touches of undergrowth, cut grass and incense in the background. Shiraz is one of Lukas’s favorite varieties to make and to drink. Grapes were harvested in two stages – to capture a spectrum of flavours – then fermented, some in open-top vats with punching down and others in closed stainless-steel tanks. On the palate, it has supple jammy fruits with vanilla cream and was matured for 14 months in oak with 25% new.
