2017 Patrick of Coonawarra Single Site Joanna Shiraz 750ml

Hints of dark chocolate and vanilla aromas greet you in the glass. This develops into blackberry and mulberry fruits, with hints of spice and white pepper. The palate is full and luscious with good palate weight and a nice dusting of oak. The smooth but present tannin completes this wine with power and prestige. Will complex and age well over the next 10-15years. ( Joanna was first released with the 2012 vintage and was an instant customer favourite ).  Wine making VARIETY/VARITIES: 100% Shiraz  REGION: Wrattonbully  HARVEST DATE: 18th April 2017 HARVEST BAUME: 14.2  BOTTLING DATE: 28th March 2021   BOTTLING ANALYSIS  Alcohol: 14 % TA: 7.2  pH: 3.58 MATURATION: 28 months in new American & Second Use French, tightly grained, hogsheads.    WINE STYLE: Luscious, opulent and intense  COLOUR: Dark purple  WINE MAKER: Luke Tocaciu    Awards Current and past awards: 94 Points - James Halliday 2021 96 Points - Huon Hooke 2018 95 Points - James Halliday 2018 SILVER - International Cool Climate Wine Show 2018 SILVER - Limestone Coast Wine Show 2017 SILVER - Australian Small Winemakers Wine Show 2017 SILVER - Wine Showcase New Release Tasting 2017 BEST IN CLASS - Winestate Magazine " New Releases" July/ August 2017
