winemaker's notes
The 2006 Gaffer Shiraz is a testament to the best of McLaren Vale. Made with 20% new French oak, this wine shows excellent integration of Shiraz fruit with the gentle use of oak creating a big, rich, juicy, smooth style of red, finishing with elegance and spice. Co-fermented with a tiny amount of Viognier, just one or two percent, the nose is delicately perfumed and the palate softened. The Gaffer is a flavoursome, fruit-driven, full bodied Shiraz that is well balanced and assured to please the palate.
