PHILOSOPHY
The Haan philosophy of providing the best possible conditions in both the vineyard and winery has produced yet another wine of distinction and excellence.
Shiraz is the king of Barossa reds, and only grapes from the Hanenhof Vineyard have been used in the making of this traditional style.
THE WINE
A seductive nose of violets, mulberries and smoldering toasty oak with alluring hints of coffee and vanilla bean. The silky sweet blackberry and bramble fruit fill the dense, rich palate, balanced by chocolate, mocha and spicy clove notes. The palate is generously extended by chewy liquorice tannins and a gentle touch of black pepper on the finish.
AGEING
Released with 24 months wood and bottle age, this wine will continue to improve over the next 5 to 10 years under good cellaring conditions. It will certainly reward those who are patient, but this classic style will also be enjoyed by those who cannot resist the immediate temptation.
To fully appreciate this wine, we recommend that it be decanted 3 to 4 hours before serving.
