The Frankland River grape growing region is considered to produce the greatest expression of Shiraz from Western Australia. The Shiraz wines hove a structure and consistency of flavour unique to the region. With inky red and youthful purple hues, the 2004 Emu Wine Company Shiraz has a dense blackberry and blueberry nose with complex, savoury and earthy notes, underpinned with hints of black pepper and spice. The vibrant and inviting nose is a reflection of the wonderful fruit depth and richness that preludes the palate. Lingering berry flavours are supported by ripe, round tannin structure and balanced acidity, providing a wine with great style and integrity.
A wine to be enjoyed now for its style and fruit expression or cellared confidently for up to 10 years to gain further complexity.
