- Description
Utterly black, with a narrow crimson-purple rim, the colour signals the intensity and power of the wine to come. The nose displays rich dark bramble and blackcurrant fruit with cinnamon, black pepper, smoke and tar. The bramble and super-concentrated black cherry fruit on the palate are vivid, vibrant and exceptionally intense and framed by minerally tannins and smoky notes. Aged in French oak (40% of it new), which the wine has effortlessly absorbed, this is a singular Shiraz of exceptional power and balance. With wonderful length and depth this wine will cellar extremely well, but it is so good right now…….
We do realise we’re being exceptionally modest about this wine but wait until you try it. Our best Stand and Deliver Shiraz yet.- Winemaking Notes

Something suitably luxuriant and lavish, so why not Beef Wellington? Venison, wild boar and duck would all be good too served (of course) with a Stand and Deliver sauce.
