Bin No. 1 is a classic, cool climate, aromatic Shiraz, made in a style that is perfumed, spicy and peppery, yet well balanced with no overt dominance of alcohol.  It is a great match with food, particularly dishes like spring lamb.

This wine is a very dark red in colour with a garnet hue.  

The bouquet displays lifted aromas of exotic spices, red plums, black jubes and black olives with some nutty notes in the background.

Juicy dark red fruit flavours fill the mouth.  The rich and ripe medium bodied texture is drawn out with powdery tannins for a long savory finish.

This intensely fruited and structured wine is great to enjoy now with food but will soften and gain complexity over the next 10 years.
