[SOLD-OUT] Wild Duck Creek Reserve Shiraz 2018

WINE FRONT 94 POINTS!  
  

"A rich, luscious, sweet-fruited wine. In fact the oak here too is pretty damn seductive; cedarwood with high toast notes, and plenty of it. Cured meat, coffee grounds, saturated plum and sweet spice. The flavours almost roil, such is their intensity. At 16.3% it’s high octane but it somehow manages to feel balanced. An undeniable style of undeniable quality." - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

"Almost black with a dark purple hue. A selection of extraordinary fruit from our best shiraz vineyards – the ‘Original Vineyard’ and ‘Mia Mia Vineyard’ in the south, and the ‘Mt Pleasant Vineyard’ in the north. These parcels of fruit are hand selected, often only individual bunches taken from vines that have best withstood the harsh Heathcote summer. The wine is bright, rich and seductive. 5% whole bunch here, adding a vibrant lift from the glass. The nose is all black pastel, charcoal, spice and red fruit compote. The palate has a wonderful electricity about it, with beautiful acids and a smooth finish. It’s full of violets, blue and black fruits, all alongside concentrated plum and chocolate. The mouth feel has real grip here, and is unlike any other wine in the line-up. The finish is long and framed by abundant tannins. Matured in 90% new French oak and 10% new American oak barriques for 23 months. Cellar 12 years+. 16.2% alc. (200 Cases Only). Six packs available in wooden boxes." - Wild Duck Creek
