[SOLD-OUT] Tim Adams The Aberfeldy Shiraz 2008

"The Aberfeldy vineyard is a unique site — friable red loam over limestone nestled at the bottom of the easternmost hills of the Clare Valley, just five kilometres southeast of the township of Clare. When the Birks family of Wendouree fame settled the area they planted this site with shiraz in 1904. Many of these vines remain and those which have perished have been replaced with rootlings of the same clones. The cropping level in the vineyard is never more than 1.5 tonnes per acre, producing grapes with intense colour, flavour and tannins. This fruit is the backbone of The Aberfeldy Shiraz.

The wine has vibrant magenta colour with aromatics of cherry, plum, dark berries and chocolate, complemented by the oak-derived characters of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is full bodied with dark berry conserve flavours and balanced oak, tannin and acidity. The wine has persistent sweet fruit and oak aftertaste, with power and great finesse, and will reward patient cellaring."
