    mehrere Informationen
    Dark and lush plum in the glass, the Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz has a stunningly complex bouquet of white pepper, a fragrant cigar box, aromatic mint and dark fruit aromas - aromas that are perfectly rounded off by subtle spicy undertones. On the palate an exciting complexity opens up and the aromas already absorbed by the nose now continue seamlessly in the form of delicious taste nuances. An incredibly big and round wine with smooth and silky tannins, which are already present at a young age. In the finish, beautiful fruit nuances, a well-balanced acidity and a perfect length complete this great pleasure experience. An outstandingly balanced Syrah of world class!

    Treatment in the cellar

    The grapes for the Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz were hand-picked with great care and on arrival at the winery they were first cooled down overnight in the cold room. A controlled temperature of 6-10°C was followed by a four to five day cold swelling phase on the skin, after which the wine fermented in open steel tanks at controlled 25-30°C. On completion of fermentation, the wine matured for 14 months, two-thirds of the time in American oak barrels and the remainder in older French oak barrels.
