CELLARCRAFT Sterling Collection

California Reserve White Shiraz (with flavor reserve)………………..Oak 0 / Body 3 / Sweetness 1

12 litres of must from California Shiraz which received minimum skin contact is the heart of this wine.  An all natural, 230 mL Flavor Reserve (featuring Biognier) is added after fermantation to add body, elevate the aromatics and create a just off-dry finish.  The light salmon colour comes from the brief skin contact.  The nose has complex layers of honeysuckle, strawberry, apricot and tropical fruit.  On the palate, the wine is smooth and round with notable strawberry flavor and a suggestion of tropical fruit.  Don’t confuse this as just another take on White Zinfandel, the wine shows well after a couple of months of ageing and is usually consumed within a year.  Serve lightly chilled as an apertif or with light foods.  Try it with chicken, salads and Asian dishes.
