WINE DESCRIPTION
At Fox Creek Vineyard, meticulous care is taken from vineyard to bottle. The Shiraz is crafted from carefully selected fruit blocks known for their suitability to the vintage's conditions. After individual fermentations of 7-10 days, the wine is aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels, allowing for a layered and generous expression.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Fox Creek Shiraz presents a complex nose with prominent notes of plums and blackberries, complemented by spices and dried herbs.The palate reveals a rich mid-section where vanilla oak adds depth, balanced by soft tannins and finishing with hints of chocolate and mocha. The wine is fresh, young, and vibrant, making it enjoyable now, but it also has the potential to develop further in the bottle.
