MUSEUM RELEASE - Silken Beastie Shiraz 2018

BAROSSA VALLEY

Complex and concentrated yet pleasingly light on its feet.

93pts - The Wine Advocate
Made with 40% whole clusters from three sites in the northwestern Barossa Valley and aged over a year in 30% new oak, the 2018 Silken Beastie Shiraz lives up to its name, delivering raspberries, vanilla and mint on a full-bodied, creamy palate framed by silky tannins. It's mouthwatering and long on the finish, only slowly fading away.

91pts- Halliday Wine Companion 2021
‘A meld of fruit from Ebenezer, Kalimna and Koonunga has been handled minimally: fermented indigenously with the inclusion of a small percentage of whole-bunch. The result is rich and seamless. Bitter chocolate. Lilac. Anise, Liquorice. Damson plum and searingly ripe black cherry, with a solid riff of oak. A polished full-bodied wine that will please many.’

Huon Hooke, The Real Review
'Deep red colour with a faint tint of purple; the bouquet is plummy, straightforward, fruit driven. The palate is medium to full-bodied and well-endowed with ripe tannins: a big, rich, bold red with honest but straightforward sweetly ripe flavour. Cellaring will bring more to this wine. '
