Product information "Haskell Dombeya Boulder Road Shiraz 2014"
The Haskell Dombeya Boulder Road Shiraz flows into the glass in a vivid purple and bewitches the nose with deliciously seductive aromas of fragrant violets and white pepper as well as fine hints of rooibos tea. On the palate, this highly endowed Shiraz shows an incredibly soft and elegant side with opulence and excellent structure, reminiscent of a classic Shiraz in Rhône style. The finish is spicy and dry.

The grapes for Boulder Road Shiraz were harvested by hand with great care from three different vineyards and vinified and ripened separately with regard to the different growing locations. Fermentation was carried out with the addition of Anchor 327 yeast, which enhances the wonderful taste nuances of red fruit and spicy pepper tones. The berries were pressed and then immediately prepared for fermentation. Four times a day the pumping over was carried out, with the cap of the marc being lifted underneath. The must spent 10 days on the skins. The wine then matured for 16 months in French oak (of which new wood, second and third filled barrels were used for a third of each) and the grapes from the younger vines matured in stainless steel tanks.
