2008 Woodstock Shiraz Cabernet
Background
In this classic Australian blend, Shiraz provides fleshy fruit, spice and middle palate weight, and the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a sturdy backbone and structured texture. A perfect synergy of 2 prominent Australian red varieties.
Winemaking
Fruit for this wine was sourced from the estate as well as neighbouring vineyards in McLaren Vale. It spent over 18 months in a combination of 2 and 3 year old seasoned French and American oak to enhance subtle complexity without the dominance of oak.
The Wine
A burst of juicy grape flavours showing plums, dark berries, black currants, a touch of pepper and spice. It is lush and lively displaying good harmony between two of Australia's most prominent varietal's. Maturation in 2 and 3 year American and French oak barrels adds complexity. It is clean and approacchable with good intensity build around a fine tannin backbone.
Serving Suggestion
Slow braised Osso Bucco served with mashed potatoes and lightly steamed French beans. A splash of Woodstock Shiraz Cabernet in the sauce whilst cooking would make this match perfect!
