TATIARRA ‘CARAVAN OF DREAMS’ SHIRAZ PRESSINGS
The Tatiarra Caravan of Dreams has become an International wine icon,
and demand exceeds supply many times over. Stylistically, past vintages
have been compared with great vintages of Penfold's Grange. Three
pressings are made from the grape skins after the free run juice is
allocated for the Cambrian Shiraz. Great care must be taken to ensure
that excess tannins and phenolics don't overcome the fruit flavour. The
very best new American oak casks infuse the fruit until a perfect
harmony is achieved. A total saturate of black purple colour. Top note
of vanilla followed by liquorice allsorts, spice, blackberry and black
pepper. Explosive palate – a sensation of wonderfully ripe blackberry,
plums and black pepper meshed with liquorice allsorts and vanilla. A
wine of incredible length, depth and balance. Fine grained perfectly
balanced tannins. Exceptionally long aftertaste of blackberry, plum and
black pepper. Cellar 10-15 years (2018-2023) Alc/Vol: 15.5%
