Newest Cinderella Wine offer is here!
Since April 19, 2024 12:00PM

Please note, today's wine is available on presale and is set to arrive at the end of the week.

Please note, orders are processed on a first come basis. If you leave the wine in your cart for even a few minutes it might have already sold out as our stock quantity is removed when you submit the order in final, not when you add it to your cart!

You will get two emails from us with regards to your order. The first email from us only confirms that we received your order. The second email will confirm that we have enough wine to fill your order. Due to the high volume of sales there are times when the wine has sold out, but our system is still updating and shows it as available. We're sorry for any inconvenience and will do what we can to fill your order!

Thanks to your feedback we might bring back some of Cinderella Wine's popular previous offers. If a wine makes another appearance here, this newer offer will always be slightly higher than the original one. Offers that are on the site on Friday through Sunday will be shipped on Monday.

More Ratings:

95 Pts Wine Spectator	"Still a bit chunky now, but there's a great core of braised fig, bittersweet cocoa, anise, blackberry and warm tar, all layered with graphite and black tea. The long, muscular finish has serious grip thanks to a mouthwatering iron hint, while the tobacco and black fruit notes show lots of persistence. Best from 2011 through 2016. 354 cases made." (03/10)

92 Pts Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"Raised in 50% French oak for 20 months with just two rackings, the impressive 2007 Shiraz has a generous peppery nose with touches of broom, white fennel and rosemary. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, very good depth with fine structure on the structured, Gigondas-like finish. I would bunker a few bottles down in the cellar. Drink 2013-2020." (08/11)
91+ Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media	"Deep medium ruby. Lively, pure aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and violet pastille. Then densely packed and a bit youthfully unforthcoming, with its serious underlying richness currently masked by taut structure. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and strong spice tones. Built for a slow evolution in bottle." (04/11)

Description:

Wine:
"Deep bright red colour. Intense, but elegant wild and red berry fruit with complex spice and white pepper nuances - all very persistent. Lovely purity of fruit on the palate, despite the range of interesting secondary flavours - incl. spice, pepper and subtle oak. Fine, dry and persistent finish."

"Probably best between 2010 & 2020. A pity to spoil this wine with food! Perhaps best with plainer food like roast chicken, potatoes or butternut to highlight the wines underlying subtleties." - Winery

Vintage Conditions:
"Typical cold, wet winter followed by a normal growing season with enough rain and warm weather to produce good, balanced growth. The Shiraz seemed to relish the knife-edge harvest conditions with small heat waves alternating with short, wet, cold spells. It seemed to bring out a spiciness and elegance unique to the vintage." - Winery

Production:
"Handpicking into 20 kg crates. Destemming and gentle crushing directly into small 2 ton open top fermentation tanks. Spontaneous natural yeast fermentation @ max. 30 degrees C with the cap of skins punched down manually 1 - 4 times a day for 13 days. Wine drained directly to barrels together with single pressing from traditional basket press."

"All our red wines undergo malolactic fermentation in the barrel. 50% new French oak was used. Time in barrel 20 months with only 2 gentle rackings. This wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered by hand." - Winery
