"I am always trialling techniques and blends and now have a wine that I have put my name to. The Woodstock vineyards have produced high quality wines for the first release of the 'Scott Collett' Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon and future releases may include components from my other vineyards, with Woodstock as the base."
-Wine maker
Deep, dark red in colour with an almost black centre, yet still visible bright, youthful hues on the edges,
Now Close your eyes, let the imagination run and think of...
Satsuma Plums, blueberries, blackberries, beetroot and a hint of rhubarb aromas.
Savoury toasted spice characters of anise, cloves and cardamom, seamlessly mingle with mouth-watering hints of fennel, caraway and min on the nose, with just a speckle of pepper.
These characters follow through on to the palate, with a fine structured vanilla oak base providing a holding pattern for the flavours to be held up generously.
Elegant yet firm tannins from Cabernet Sauvignon provide a sophisticated backbone, whilst fleshy Shiraz enriches the body and blossoms in the mouth, providing warm enriching and powerful flavours.
The two grape varieties complement each other perfectly and showcase elegance and savoury length, which seems to last an eternity.
After many, many years of patience, slowly but surely this gentle giant will become an angle with even more elegance and finesse and ever-growing flavour profile.
Notes on the 2016 Vintage:
"There is nothing reserved or restrained about this wine, but there is plenty of nuance and complexity. Brooding aromas of black currants, Chambord, mulberries, roasted coffee, bitter chocolate and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and a textural, rounded mouthfeel. Full throttle but nicely constructed. Drink or hold."
