2018 The Guilty, Shiraz, Shinas Estate

 Shinas Estate ligger i den nordvestlige region Victoria. Denne region er kendt for sit Middelhavs-lignende klima, klassiske vine og god mad. De første vinstokke i Victoria blev plantet tilbage i 1886 og allerede i 1898 begyndte man at plante på de jorde, som senere  blev til Shinas Estate. Familien bag Shinas Estate går mere end otte generationer tilbage, og i dag ejes og drives Shinas Estate af George Shinas, der deler samme passion og perfektion som de foregående generationer. George Shinas er ligeledes dommer, hvorfra han har hentet inspiration til sine vinnavne.

Alcohol: 15,9%

“The first vines on the Estate were planted in 1898. The Guilty is produced from premium vineyards. Due to its limited production only a lucky few will ever get to taste it.

Ripe shiny blackberry red. Voluptuous cherry, vanilla and peppery spice aromas and full-bodied flavours packed with smoky vanillin oak, cherry and strawberry fruits, chocolate and mocha all wrapped up in a big, rich, velvety smooth package. A juicy wine with fine tannins, the pepper detected on the nose kicks in again to make a welcome re-appearance on the powerful finish. Made from low yielding old vines dating back to 1898 and aged in older French oak, the fruit is sourced from Mildura on the north west Victorian border.”
