Langhorne Creek, South Australia. The name "Selkirk" is in recognition of our Grandfather's heritage. This Scottish border town was the ancestral home of the Willson family.
Careful vineyard management and controlled yields ensure premium fruit for this distinctive Shiraz style. It has a deep, vibrant colour and offers distinctive varietal characters, complemented by spicy oak nuances. A layered, well‐balanced palate structure and a persistent finish, provides a frame for the full bodied berry fruit flavours and touches of spice.
After fermentation in small batch open top fermenters, the wine spent 18 months in carefully selected fine grain American oak. A proportion of new (30%) American oak barriques were used to enhance its palate structure and flavour complexities without masking the varietal fruit characters.
TASTING NOTES
The Shiaz has a complex, well-balanced palate structure and a persistant finish that enhances the rich flavours of ripe berry fruit with touches of spice. The Selkirk matches well with Mediterranean foods, cheeses, red meat and game.
CELLARING
Although drinking well now, it will develop with cellaring for 4+ years.
SERVE
Matches well with Mediterranean foods, cheeses, red meat, poultry and risotto.
