mehrere Informationen

The Eagles' Nest Shiraz presents itself as a dark beauty with a deep core and garnet-red rim in the glass, from which emerge seductive aromas of black peppercorns, blackcurrants and dark cherries, wonderfully complemented by subtle smoky notes and a hint of aniseed and cloves. The aromas already absorbed by the nose are seamlessly carried through to the palate, where they provide absolute pleasure with unmistakable peppery nuances and soft, well-integrated tannin. The well-balanced acidity wonderfully brings out these delicious nuances in the pleasantly soft and long-lasting finish. A first-class drop that no Shiraz fan should miss.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Shiraz were hand picked, destemmed and crushed in open fermentation tanks. The fermentation period was 12 days, after which the wine was transferred to French barriques (40% new wood), where it matured to perfection for 18 months.
