Craiglee Shiraz (2018)
750mL / Sunbury, VIC / Australia
Originally established in the 1860's by one of Melbourne's founding fathers, James Johnston, Craiglee Vineyard was absent from the Australian wine landscape until it was replanted in 1976 by an enthusiastic agricultural science graduate called Pat Carmody.
Now one of Austrlia's most highly regarded and awarded wineries, Craiglee is still run with the loving attention of Pat and Dianne Carmody with the occasional input of their sons.
Tasting Notes:
Craiglee Vineyard Shiraz is light to medium-bodied with absolutely high quality fruit - pretty but well structured and shaped.
Hints of vanillin, violet, earthen tannins with cloves and black cherries and a floral nose.
A winner of a bottle to put down for 10 years if you can wait that long to enjoy!
