MAVERICK AHRENS CREEK BAROSSA VALLEY SHIRAZ

APPELLATION
Barossa

ORIGIN
Grape Variety:Shiraz

WINE-MAKING
This very old Shiraz vineyard was planted in the 1870s and is a true natural wonder. The vineyard has been substantially overhauled, increasing vine health and yields. Our fiest vintage was 2014 which received 96 points from James Halliday. The wine shows magnificent fruit and intensity and subtle characteristics of a top-line Barossa Shiraz.

TASTING NOTES
Deep garnet red with brick red hues. Powerful and opulent with ripe red berry fruits. Blackberry, spice, plums and cocoa combine adding additional layers of complexity. Beautiful fleshy berry fruits gift-wrapped in velvety, finely-structured tannins. Powerful, voluptuous and textured, the palate shows great concentration and length with deep red berries, dark chocolate and spice on the finish.

SERVING
Perfect with: beef, lamb, and strong cheese
