From a Haan wine what sudden friendship springs

2005 Shiraz Prestige

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

This iconic Barossa Shiraz is inky black in colour and signifies a big, rich wine, and the aroma does not let you down. Intense spicy blackberries and subtle vanillan oak complexes with a heavy earthy aroma. The palate is big, with strong upfront fruits, generous mid palate and silky, dusty oak finishes. These attributes are the hallmarks of a great Barossa Shiraz. The long aging in oak imparts soft, silky tannins and a firm structured finish.

This style of wine is a tribute to the excellence attributed to Haan Wines and also rewarding the customer with the tradition of premium Barossa Shiraz.

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.
