Description: Aged in new and 1 year old French oak barrels for 12 months has created a wine with an elegant structure while maintaining an earthy richness.
Details: Pepper Tree's Hunter Valley vineyard is in the Mount View area of the Lower Hunter Valley in the sheltered foothills of the Brokenback Range and covers 38.5 ha of plantings. The Mount View area contains 3 small protected subvalleys with highly favourable soils influenced by the large proportion of limestones in the underlying rocks. Terra Rossa clays over crumbly limestone and free draining red and brown clay loams cover hill slopes and are planted to red varieties as well as Chardonnay. Alluvial loams along the vineyard's creek flats are ideal soils for Semillon and Verdelho.
Producer: Peppertree – Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia
The Logan 2005 Shiraz is a deep burgundy colour, showing white and black pepper, blackberry, star anise and nutmeg aromas. The soft but full palate has flavours of plum, allspice and sarsaparilla with a lingering finish.
Modern Aussie Shiraz, less reliance on oak, vibrant and bright. The wine displays distinctive
pepper and spice characters with good mid palate weight and length. It has fine fruit concentration and purity of character.
