The Fiddle's Block Shiraz is deep red-purple in colour with complex and intense aromas of black rose petals, red and black fruits, plums, tar, liquorice, chocolate, dried herbs and spicey hints from oak. The palate is full bodied and concentrated, but retains balance and freshness, with fine ripe tannins for a long silky mouth feel.
The fruit has been hand-picked and pressed to a combination of new and old French oak for approximately 28 months maturation. Each barrel is individually assessed prior to being blended and bottled.
"Deep, dark, blackberried flavour comes layered with silk. If you're hunting for a full-flavoured, traditionally styled Aussie red wine, then you've come to the right place. It's smooth, it's rich, it's firm and, every step of the way, it feels in charge." – Campbell Mattinson
Fiddle’s Block Shiraz is named in recognition of Ben's great grandfather, Henry ‘Fiddle’ Potts, who's grandfather Frank Potts arrived in South Australia from England with the first free settlers and started growing grapes in the Langhorne Creek region in the 1850’s.
The original vineyard has been passed down through the family over the generations, with cuttings from the the original vines used to establish the vineyard that is used today.
