95 Pts Huon Hooke - www.huonhooke.com |
"Rich, mellowing chocolaty nose. The palate is dense and chewy, deep and massive, with abundant firm tannins adding grip. Good wine of a bigger style, and it's balanced. Alcohol in check, and the tannins are smooth. A big, generous but balanced wine. Good structure and length. Some spicy aromas emerged later." Reviewed 1/5/2013 |
94 Pts James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion |
"Deep, dense crimson-purple; this really is built for the long haul; cedary/spicy French oak is the first aroma encountered on the bouquet and is never far away, but there are waves of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate fruits, then round tannins to conclude." Reviewed 9/5/2011 |
93 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Rich, ripe and generous, bursting with vivid blackberry, currant and floral flavors that dance energetically against refined tannins, finishing with length on the crisp finish. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported." Reviewed July, 2012 |

Description:
"Our flagship wine is made from the finest selection of Shiraz from each vintage. As with films, the directorâs cut is regarded as the definitive version â no compromises. The 2010 Directors' Cut Shiraz is almost opaque showing astounding colour density. The nose has notes of dark cherries and blackcurrant with fragrant dark spice. The palate is rounded, yet focused and intense. European in style, with savoury characters and a wonderful mouth-feel."
Vinification
The fruit for Directors' Cut Shiraz was harvested at night and then crushed to small open top stainless steel fermenters. After 24 hours of skin contact fermentation was commenced with a Rhone isolate yeast. Following 7-8 days of cool (18 Degrees) fermentation on skins and hand-plunging 3 times daily, the wine was transferred to oak hogsheads (80% French, 20% American) for natural malolactic fermentation. The wine was then topped and left on lees for 6 months with "battonage" (lees stirring) once a week. The barrels were racked and refilled before a further 8 months maturation prior to bottling.
