Chris Ringland CR Shiraz

Varietal: Shiraz
Current Vintage: 2009*
Size: 750mL

Chris Ringland Shiraz has been one of Australia's most loved wines over the past couple of years with its immense concentration and bold, forboding fruit. Chris Ringland, the man behind such famous names as Three Rivers and Rockford Basket Press Shiraz, creates a wine that is made from mature Northern Barossa vines and shows dark mass of concentrated black and blue fruits, laced with sweet mocha and wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture. Not for the faint of heart, the 2009 Chris Ringland Shiraz is considered by the man himself as an even better drop than the much loved 2008. Judge for yourself!

Old Vine Northern Barossa fruit delivers a totally impenetrable inky wine with swathes of dark concentrated blue and black fruits. Building on that are incredible layers of flavour like chocolate, mocha, sweet spices of aniseed, licorice and voluptuous dark fruit like plum and blackberry. The viscosity and weight of the wine is impeccable while the texture can be simply described with one word, velvety. The tannins are micro-fine, the balance superb and the length is marathon like. A Barossa Valley Shiraz of the highest order.

Made only from mature Barossa vines up to 60 years old, the 2008 Chris Ringland Shiraz is a dark mass of concentrated black and blue fruits, laced with sweet mocha and wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture. The length, like the memories to be had from this wine, border on immortal.
