2014 Brooks Road Shiraz

MUSEUM RELEASE

Named after the street on which the vineyard is located, Brooks Road Shiraz exhibits the compelling single site character of the vineyard. It marries red, blue and black fruit aromas with perfumed and savoury elements and captures the full flavour of Shiraz with deeply ripe plum and blackberry fruits. The powerful and defined tannins are balanced with even-paced acid structure which accentuates length of flavour and delivers a sense of sustained purity on the palate.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

The 2014 growing season in McLaren Vale is remembered as a warm vintage of extremes with hail in December, a heat wave in January and some heavy rain in February. However, March followed with milder conditions to allow concentration of flavour and ripeness to reach an ideal balance during grape maturation. The 2014’s show great ripeness and richness, depth and plushness.
