NOTES
Brown Brothers in Milawa, north-eastern Victoria, is one of the icons of winemaking and wine tourism in Australia. Operated in the King Valley by a pioneering winemaking family, they are always exploring new varieties.
Brown Brothers believe that wines are as different as the ‘people who drink them’ which is why they have developed a comprehensive range of wine styles and blends. With vineyards located in a diverse range of climatic regions and a 'kindergarten' winery specifically designed for innovation, Brown Brothers draws from a patchwork of vineyards to make a number of wines – many such as the Limited Release wines which you will only find at cellar door and a handful of fine wine merchants.
TASTING NOTES
The Patricia range of wines is the culmination of Brown Brothers' commitment to viticultural and winemaking excellence. The Patricia name is a dedication for Patricia Brown's hard work and the love she has given her family. Careful vineyard site selection and the utmost care in winemaking approach has maximised flavour and retained the elegance of these wines, they are sure to impress.
The Patricia Shiraz shows intense, dense, round, supple and ripe fruit balanced with integrated oak flavours. The nose shows intense plum, spice and liquorice characters. The palate is rich and powerful with dominant spice and plum flavours.
REVIEWS
A supple and delicious wine, plum, spice, blackberry and mocha oak and fine, ripe tannins all coalesce. Cork. 14.5% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2015, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
Nose of dark berries, spice and mocha oak. A rich warm palate with a hint of dark chocolate, firm tannin structure and a long finish. There is a quibble about the noticeable American oak and the firmness but the wine will definitely benefit from some cellaring. Winewise Magazine, Tony Wynd & Len Sorbello, Friday 1st May 2009
