Salomon Estate Finniss River Sea Eagle Vineyard Shiraz 2018

This Shiraz comes from old vines in the River Sea Eagle Vineyard on the Finniss River in the Fleurieu Peninsula appellation. The wine was aged for 18 months in predominantly French wood and a little American oak. The proportion of new wood was 30%. The Syrah is a wine with a deep, opaque, purple colour and a stunning aroma of dark, highly ripe berry fruits, wood spice, grilled herbs and Indian spices. Despite its maturity, the Syrah is vital, agile and full of fine acidity.
