Estate Shiraz 2020
Brown Brothers
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
This smooth and elegant Shiraz has dark berry fruit flavours and gentle pepper spice, Estate bottled in Milawa.
This juicy Shiraz would be perfect with beef carpaccio drizzled in olive oil and topped with cracked black pepper and shaved parmesan cheese. Or try it with a Szechwan pepper coated tuna steak cooked medium rare with a light green salad.
Following harvest, the grapes were crushed and destemmed and fermented on skins for 5 to 7 days. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured for 12 months with 15% of the wine in new and older French and American oak barriques and puncheons.
