2003 Sixth Generation Shiraz

 

 

 

 

 Guy Adams and his wife Liz have two children – the sixth generation of family to live on the property – which is a rare achievement that they are very proud of and consequently reflected in the “Sixth Generation” name.

Deep red in color, this wine displays generous, regional Langhorne Creek Shiraz characteristics. The sweet red fruits, black pepper and cinnamon/spice aromas lead to juicy dark berry and blackcurrant flavors of considerable length. There are integrated savoury, sweet fruit and earthy touches along with fine, velvet tannins that provide complexity and texture. This is a wine to be enjoyed over the next eight to ten years.
