Nugan Third Generation Shiraz (75cl, 13.5%)

Nugan Third Generation Shiraz is a 100% Shiraz from South Eastern Australia, produced by Nugan Estate in the Riverina region. The fruit is night harvested at optimum ripeness, then cool fermented in static tanks with automatic irrigators; select components receive French oak contact during fermentation. The nose has lifted ripe berry fruit, cracked black pepper, earthy undertones, dark chocolate, spice and a trace of ash. The palate is generous with cherry and blueberry, baking spice, dusty oak and peppery warmth, with balanced acidity. Silky, fine-grained tannins lead to a moderately long finish with black pepper and a subtle floral note.
