Notes:
The name 'Hellfire Bay' was given to the bay by early immigrants to Western Australia after they sailed through St. Elmo's fire.
Hellfire Shiraz has an excellent depth of ruby red colour, with an attractive, open berry perfume. On the nose it’s spicy and ripe, with perfumes of plums and blackberries which follow through to the palate. Smooth, rounded tannins with just enough structure to support the juicy fruit hold up to the finish. Enjoy now for up to 4 years.
The Hellfire Bay wines are made at Plantagenet, who continue to produce some of Australia’s most exciting yet classically elegant wines, by winemaker Richard Robson. The fruit was sourced from a variety of vineyards in Western Australia. Fermentation took place in stainless steel, after which part of the wine spent ten months in oak; the oak handling is evident, but it adds richness and intensity rather than masking inferior fruit. The wine is sealed under Stelvin to ensure the wine reaches you exactly how Richard Robson intended it.
