Grant Burge Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

The wine has a dark red color with hints of garnet. The palate is round and delicious with complex layers of blackberry, ripe plum, chocolate, coffee and spice notes. A powerful, aromatic wine with French oak tannins and an exceptionally long aftertaste. 

It goes well with poultry and beef.

The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks for seven days, and part of the fruit goes through a long maceration. The residue undergoes primary and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels.

The wine is aged for 20 months in two year old oak barrels before bottling. And it ages for another year and a half in bottle before release.

The wine is a blend of Barossa (38%) and Eden (62%) valleys.
