The 2014 Shiraz from Harris Organic Wine and Spirits is a testament to the dedication to organic winemaking and the unique terroir of the Swan Valley. This rare wine offers a sensory journey from the moment it is poured. With a richness that pervades the nose, it sets the stage for a beautifully smooth mouthfeel that captivates the palate with its depth and length.
Crafted exclusively from hand-picked organic fruit nurtured on the duplex soils of the Swan Valley, each sip reflects the care and attention to detail that goes into every bottle. The wine undergoes a meticulous process, including basket pressing and maturation in the winery's underground cellar for 24 months before bottling.
As a Rhone-style Shiraz, it embodies the classic characteristics of the region, showcasing a rich and vibrant dark red hue. The aroma entices with notes of forest fruits, complemented by hints of chocolate and vanilla. On the palate, one discovers a symphony of plums, berries, and chocolate, culminating in a smooth, lingering finish.
While it is delightful to drink now, the 2014 Shiraz has the potential to further evolve with additional maturation. Cellaring will be generously rewarded, allowing the wine to continue to develop complexity and depth over the next decade or more.
Overall, this medium-bodied Shiraz is a true gem, offering a sensory experience that celebrates the organic ethos of Harris Organic Wine and Spirits and the unparalleled beauty of the Swan Valley.
