Richard Hamilton Shiraz 2009
	Leconfield proprietor Dr Richard Hamilton’s outstanding estate vineyard in McLaren Vale has delivered a salubrious bounty once again. Richard is the fifth generation of Hamiltons to make wine. For over three decades, the good doctor has directed his passion and skill to extracting the most precious yields from his family vineyards, the oldest of which date back to 1892. Richard Hamilton Shiraz is crafted to present a profound definition of varietal fruit, while offering immeasurable length, as it represents a salient expression of the McLaren Vale McLaren Vale Available by the case dozen only
	Each $14.99 Dozen $179.88	The majority of fruit was selected from vines up to forty years of age planted to sandy clay loam and black clay loam soils on the Leconfield estate farm and from select blocks at the Little Road property in McLaren Vale. Grapes are treated to a detailed hand clean up following initial machine pruning. Following three weeks tank fermentation on skins at 22°C to 28°C, the components are pressed before dryness and allowed some oak fermentation. Upon completion of malolactic, the wine was re-worked and returned to oak for up to sixteen months maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oaks. The final assemblage received a light egg white fining before bottling. Approx 14.5%
	Deep dark red with attractive crimson hues. A fruit dominant wine showing mint, plum and black pepper. Oak derived spice characters of cinnamon and nutmeg augment the nose. Expect to see cedar characters as the wine develops. The palate shows definitive Shiraz flavours with the richness to be expected of a McLaren Vale wine. The tannins are tight and long with round texture, clean acidity and excellent persistence. Will compliment beef or full flavoured vegetarian. "An impressive wine for its depth of fruit on the palate and exquisite integration. Concentrated with sweet and savoury pudding characters, dark cherries with espresso, seaweed and spice. Oak, tannins and fruit in complete concert!" -Vinicraft.com
