Amicus Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon / Malbec Langhorne Creek

Notes - Amicus, meaning friend in Latin, is the venture of three friends: Amanda Vanstone, Robert Hill and Walter Clappis, well known Winemaker and bon vivant. Walter Clappis has been making wine for 28 years and is considered one of Australia's most outstanding Winemakers, being the only Winemaker to have ever won the Dan Murphy Trophy three times. Amicus Winery is based in McLaren Vale and grapes for the label are sourced vineyards in McLaren Vale and the Langhorne Creek wine growing district. Walter Clappis has always made wine employing traditional methods and his own vineyards follow Biodynamic principles, eliminating the use of pesticides and herbicides. The wine is composed of 60% Shiraz, 30% Cabernet and 10% Malbec. The 2005 Blend follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. The colour is deep Red-magenta with purple hues. The bouquet exhibits an array of fruits from cherry berry to peppery, plumb characters which are derived from the Shiraz and Cabernet components, whilst the Malbec imparts an abundance of spice. The palate is full, flavoursome and rich, yet has an attractively soft and velvety finish. All of these flavours combine to deliver a wholesome mouth-feel that lingers long after the wine has been swallowed.
