Description
Shinas Estate The Guilty Shiraz 2018
Shinas Estate The Guilty is a juicy wine all wrapped up in a big, rich, velvety smooth package. Shiny deep red colour that is almost black. Opens with a voluptuous boquet of cherry, vanilla and pepper aromas. Full-bodied on the palate with fine tannins and a juicy acidity. Packed with ripe red cherry and strawberry flavours with hints of smoky vanilla oak, chocolate and mocha. Closes in a powerful finish with traces of pepper.
100% Shiraz. The Guilty is produced from premium vineyards. Shinas Estate is based on the outskirts of Mildura, Victoria on the majestic Murray River. The region's Mediterranean climate and ancient soils make the perfect partnership for growing premium grapes and producing fine quality wines.
Shinas Estate Wines minimises irrigation of the vineyard, which reduces cropping levels and enhances fruit quality. The fruit is left on the vines long beyond traditional periods, allowing the intense flavours that characterise the wine to develop. In true boutique style, only the highest quality fruit is selected for harvest.
