Powell & Son, Steinert Flaxmans Shiraz

Powell & Son, Steinert Flaxmans ShirazThe 2015 Steinert Shiraz hails from Flaxman's Valley, and it's composed and fresh, spicy and vibrant. What a wine this is. Superb. The oak is starting to ameliorate into the fruit, and the fruit spools through the finish in tendrils and wisps; the curls of flavor fade like the smoke from a candle. Elegant. 14,. 5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Grown on white volcanic ash soil

The delicious and nicely vibrant middle weight flavors possess solid depth and persistence while concluding in a bitter cherry pit-inflected finale

This also possess excellent development potential and is a wine that’s going to need at least a decade first

But the finish is very tasty and long

(55 year old vines)

Fresh fruit on the palate but quite light

which allowed them to foot-tread the grapes

76 ha parcel

This is more discreet and reserved with wonderfully pure notes of red

leather and plenty of earth scents introduces tension-filled and intensely mineral-driven medium weight flavors

While I wouldn’t describe this as a classic example of Preuses

Lots of the right ingredients in here but still a coiled spring
