Wines by Arakoon

Arakoon Sellicks Beach Shiraz 2008

Ray and Patrik Jones first venture into the wine industry was a proposal for a film featuring gentleman James Halliday as anchorman. Set near the juncture of Kangarilla and Tatachilla Roads at McLaren Vale, the father and son operation release small amounts of hand made wines. Arakoon are somewhat more elegant and understated, a stylistic objective achieved through extended post ferment maceration and subtle new French oak. Sellicks Beach is aromatically giving of violets and spiced plum over a heady touch of bourbon barrel and creamy, mocha tannins.

Arakoon is the aboriginal name of a forest that was known to the indigenous people for it's proximity to water. Jones & Son are upfront about their penchant for Burgundy but what they do is completely McLaren Vale. They collate hand chosen parcels of Shiraz from good growers in the Sellicks Beach and Willunga districts, grapes are painstakingly handled and sorted. Foot crushing, boots on, is the practice, and for the most part all wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Parcels are inoculated and vinified in traditional open vats, treated to an extended maceration and gentle transfer through a hand operated basket press before maturation in a combination of French and American oaks.

Deep red in colour. Aromas of chocolate and plums, lifted baking spice, mullberry and ground black pepper. A dashing wine offering layers of sweet and savoury Shiraz complexity, the fleshy fruit follows through with an array of black berry and cherry flavours over earthiness and biscuit, rich textures are kept vital by bright morello acidity. Seamless integration of velvety tannins and a fine balance of American and French, lending a smoky depth and additional lick of vanilla spice which linger right through to the savoury finish.
