Sanguine d'Orsa Shiraz

Looking back over the 21 years of making wines from the Sanguine vineyard the vintages that followed colder wet years like 2012 and now the 2018 make exceptional, elegant and fresh wines.  This shiraz is a classic with dark purple inky colour eluding to the power of this wine. Very aromatic lifted aromas of black fruits and spice with the 70% stylish, expensive new French oak taking the aromas to the next level of complexity.  The palate is rich and long with blackberry fruit layered throughout.  The D’orsa shiraz from Sanguine are blended to reward the patient but the 2018 is one of the most drinkable vintages to come out of the Sanguine winery. Winemaker Mark Hunter
