Hope Estate Shiraz / Malbec

Notes - Hope Estate has 13 hectares of vines in the Macedon Ranges region of Victoria. Located at the foot of the Great Dividing Range the area is described as “marginal” due to low temperatures and strong winds.  This challenging climate produces very intense flavours from low yielding vines.  The vines were planted in 1968 and are dry grown without irrigation. These are the same vineyards from which the famous Virgin Hills is made. This Shiraz / Malbec is very dark, red and inky. The nose has aromas of white and black pepper spice, plum and strawberry. The palate is full-bodied with cedary oak. It has a fleshy mid-palate with super fine tannin and long berry fruit finish. Try it with a a juicy steak or lamb.
