Description: The sun filled Goulburn Valley region produces intense varietal fruit with excellent structure. The Ulupna vineyard is situated on a small, distinctive site with the cooling influence of the Murray River and the alluvial soils, which are steeped in Red Gum and Peppercorn tree relics. As well as reflecting the landscape that it comes from, it is also a reflection of the people who made it. Long time residents in Australia and Europe, the Ulupna team brings European awareness and sensitivities into an Australian context.
Grape Variety & Vineyard: 100% Shiraz from Ulupna’s own vineyard in the Goulburn Valley. Central Victoria
Wine Analysis: Alc/Vol: 14.5%, TA: 5.9 g/L, pH: 3.61
Eye: Classic deep purple colour.
Nose: Full aromas of plums, black and red cherries with notes of chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla.
Palate: An excellent structured wine, with smooth acid supporting the rich luscious berries, candied Morello cherries and long finish. A very elegant wine.
Food Matches: Rib eye steak or Peking Duck
