Tasting note
This dry purplish red coloured wine features intense woody, spicy and fruity scents and offers a broad texture as well as fleshy tannins.
First planted in 1999, the objective of SunRock vineyard was to showcase a more definitive part of the larger vineyard as planted to a number of varietal sub-blocks. Located next to the east side rock faces, the retention of heat and subsequent radiation of it is a singular micro-climate. Heat measurements here average 1700 degree days…just the place to grow Shiraz. The 2008 is a real presence in the glass, raw black pepper and spice of the land.
