Wine Description
A powerful, vibrant, fruit driven style of Shiraz with lovely chocolaty, caramel and dark plum aromas and attractive seamlessly balanced palate with a strong acid drive. No residual sugar, below organic levels of sulphur, 18 months in 100% French Oak barrels (20% new) and certified organically grown. When wine is aged in fine oak barrels, a portion of it evaporates - winemakers call this the 'Angels Share.' It was on this sentiment the Koonara angel was born. The name 'Angels Peak' is a tongue-in-check reference to the lack of 'peaks' in the very flat Coonawarra.
Winemaker's Bio
What more can be said about the great man – former head Winemaker at Wynns in Coonawarra for 15 years, he spent vintages in Bordeaux with ‘Chateau Leoville Barton’, Napa Valley with Constellation, both Sicily and Tunisia with ‘Casa Vinicola Calatrasi’ and ‘Puglia’ before returning back home to Coonawarra.
A good family friend, and we are privileged to have him as our winemaker. Something not many people know is, our super premium Head Honcho, Cabernet Sauvignon is named after him.
