Red Wine > Shiraz & Blends > Wood Park Kneebones Gap Shiraz 2005 (Lower King Valley, VIC)
|
NOTES
With an environmental science background John Stokes planted his Wood Park vineyard amongst regenerating natural bush land in the foothills of the Victorian Alps in 1989. At that time, wines in the King Valley were being made by the first wave of winemakers predominantly, Brown Brothers. Through the 1980s, a second wave of winemakers was emerging.
The 18-year-old vines grow in gravelly soils over mudstone. The vineyard has a south-east aspect with rows running north-south in the Bobinawarrah Hills. The canopy is managed on the western side to protect the fruit from direct sunlight and ensure even ripening.
TASTING NOTES
Vivid purple in colour with a nose of raspberry, clove, pepper, bacon and cinnamon. Excellent cool climate characteristics. The palate is full, soft, rich, intense berry concentration licorice with savoury nuances with pleasantly long finish on the back palate.
