Il Acquario 2009 $42 (Heathcote)
This second release under our Riserva label is a brooding powerful wine assembled from the most promising parcels of fruit from the vintage. It is a blend of spicy Shiraz, Tempranillo and lifted floral Viognier matured in french oak barriques for a minimum or 12 months.
Only the best parcels of Sunbury Shiraz were selected for the Lorenzo. Deep crimson in colour, with spicy blackberry and earthy aromas. The Lorenzo Shiraz has a plentiful array of blackberry, licorice and spice-accented fruit, with a great overall extract of fruit, oak and tannins.

Sangiovese 2009 Riserva $42 (Heathcote)
This is our first Sangiovesse Riserva release under our Riserva label, it's a wine that enjoys lifted red and dark cherries, spice with hints of dry herbs/bay leaves. Similar notes are found on the palate, with a lovely floral lift accompanying the cherries and bay leaves. Tannins are very fine and delicate; the chalky tannins sit on the front palate, with good acid length, helping round out a savoury finish.

After fermentation and maturation in barriques, the wine was racked and bottled, without fining, stabilisation or filtration.
