Cupcake Vineyards Shiraz 2015

A trip to the land down under doesn’t disappoint, as the sunny days and rich soils of Southern Australia’s Barossa Valley produce rich and spicy Shiraz. Dark and inky garnet, our Shiraz impresses with a nose of ripe plums and blackberry jam. A full palate of creamy fruit, mocha and a lingering touch of black pepper follow. We carefully select the highest quality grapes from the vineyards, then crush them gently before undertaking a long, slow fermentation process. Extra skin contact extracts full flavor, and malolactic fermentation adds complexity. Aging in oak infuses supple tannins and a smooth, creamy finish.This wine pairs with spicy ribs, Cajun catfish, or steak au poivre.
