IDENTITY DOCUMENT
The Richardson Series of wines are produced only in great vintages, from the most characterful batches of grapes, identified by the Blue Pyrenees winemakers, as having the potential to make an iconic red wine, as a tribute to the late Colin Richard-son, himself a larger than life character. These wines are vinified and matured separately before confirmation of suitability to be called "Richardson" then preparation for bottling. The 2018 Richardson Shiraz is predominantly from the oldest Shiraz vines on the Blue Pyrenees Estate vineyard.
Colour - Deep ruby red colour
Aroma - Distinctly ripe Pyrenees Shiraz aroma’s of blueberry fruit, licorice and five spice notes all supported by classy French and American oak influences.
Flavour - The blueberry, liquorice, black olive and spice flavours are all fruit derived but they have been crafted into a wine of great mouth feel by careful oak and tannin manage-ment.
The long lasting spicy aftertaste is a delightful way to finish this Shiraz.
