Bete Noir Shiraz

 $39.00

A Bête Noir is the bane of one's existence, here referring to the multitude of small parcels that go into this blend. Pete Schell's 2018 Bête is a blend of 70% old-vine Barossa Shiraz and 30% Eden Valley Shiraz sourced from vines located across a variety of Barossa's sub-regions, with the eastrn foothills, Moppa, Moculta, and the Eden Valley all contributing. Vineyard age ranges between 25 and 120 years, with "60 years being a fair average across the blend," according to Schell. A perfumed, dark fruited and multi-layered Barossa Valley Shiraz. Deep, complex aromas of dark plum, ripe mulberry and confit cherry are overlain with a fine veneer of dried herb, brown cardamom, carbide and fresh leather. Youthful, full bodied palate, richly tannic, velvety and long. Strong dried black currant and dark cherry flavours on attack are framed with discreet notes wood, clove and warm loamy notes. Soft ripe fruit acids are present, but the wine is driven by rich, weighty, mature fruit tannins.
