Zitta Wines Bernardo Shiraz 2010

2010 was an outstanding vintage – one of the best of the decade. Yields were about average across the vineyard, although slightly lower for blocks on hard ground. These blocks, however, produced extremely good fruit, with berries staining hands just from handling them. It was a steady vintage with ideal warm Autumn days and cool nights. Fruit ripened perfectly, was picked at optimum time and brilliant wine has resulted. Truly a standout vintage. The wine was matured in-barrel for 24 months prior to bottling without fining or filtration. 2010 Bernardo Shiraz is dark purple-black in colour. The bouquet is extremely vibrant, with aromas of dark roses, plum cake, black cherry, roast, sweet tobacco and a touch of savoury spice. The palate is full-bodied and very generous
