Do you want to learn more about the red wines in our Australian Christmas hampers? Read our overview below to discover all you need to know!
What Can You Tell Me About the 2014 Robert Oatley McLaren Vale Shiraz?
The Robert Oatley McLaren Vale Shiraz is a part of the Robert Oatley Signature Series. Wines from the Robert Oatley Signature Series are created to impress, so be sure to pick one of our Australian Christmas hampers containing this bottle of red wine.
2014 Robert Oatley McLaren Vale Shiraz from our collection of Australian Christmas hampers could be described as a tribute to shiraz excellence. The shiraz is created by famous winemaking talent Larry Cherubino, who has more than forty years of winemaking experience.
To ensure an optimal palate and aroma for the 2014 Robert Oatley McLaren Vale Shiraz, Robert Oatley winemakers let this wine mature for 10 months in specialised French oaks casks. The wine is also made from fruit obtained in Blewitt Springs, so wine lovers can expect one of the most opulent shiraz releases ever created.
Since this is an exquisite release that does not lose its vibrancy or brightness throughout the blend, we certainly recommend this wine for a collector, connoisseur or red wine lover. The wine goes great on its own, but also with some nice Italian dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese.
What Can You Tell Me About the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz?
Another red wine you can find at the Hamper Emporium is the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz. This wine draws a lot of inspiration from the French Rhone Valley, and this has certainly paid dividend!
The 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz is characterised by an inky appearance, which has some purple hues running throughout the wine. The bold appearance of this wine is beautifully matched by a vibrant aroma, mainly provided by hints of blueberries, red berries and violets.
Naturally, the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz has some complexity that makes this wine worthwhile for connoisseurs and collectors. The complexity starts with the aroma, because in addition to the fruity aroma we already mentioned, connoisseurs will also detect some cured meat notes, cracked black pepper and dark olives.
The palate of the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz is delightfully complex too. It follows the aroma of the shiraz flawlessly, displaying intense flavours such as red fruits, dark savoury pepper and cardamom spices. The palate of the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz also has some integrated oak and a savoury finish; this makes it easier to combine the shiraz with numerous foods.
If you are looking to combine the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz with some gourmet foods, the Cape Mentelle winery recommends combining the wine with a cherry glazed duck magret and freshly roasted baby vegetables.
Not only wine connoisseurs and red wine lovers will appreciate the 2013 Cape Mentelle Shiraz, because collectors can cellar this exquisite shiraz for more than ten years. So, if this is a shiraz release that you believe your recipient will appreciate, be sure to add one of our hampers with the Cape Mentelle Shiraz to your shopping cart today!
