2010 Shiraz

Tasting Notes

Variety: Shiraz
Region: Strathbogie Ranges

James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion

Bright deep crimson; Central Victorian shiraz often has a generous, almost soft and sweet-fruited palate, and this wine is no exception; mulberry, clove and nutmeg, in a medium-bodied and fleshy package; lots of charry oak on the finish, with a lick of acid as well.
Enjoy the fruits of our labour. Pease decant this wine.

Maygars Hill

Strathbogie Ranges Victoria Australia

This 20 acre property was acquired by Jenny Houghton in 1994, for its viticulture potential and as a location for her bed and breakfast cottage.

3 acres was hand planted in 1997 into a light sandy loam. It is ideally situated in the Strathbogie Wine Region right on the border with the Goulburn Valley.

Planting has increased to 6 acres; 2 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 acres of Shiraz.

Strict viticultural policy with pruning, spraying and hand picking has achieved the required low yield per vine. This has consistently produced small berries of intense colour and flavour.

The altitude of 200 metres, combined with the light sandy loam and intensive monitoring, has produced grapes that enable a wine of elegance and complexity to be produced.
