Label reads: "Hunter Valley { SHIRAZ 2001 Cockfighter's Ghost takes its name from a legendary steed - a brave explorer's horse that drowned in the Wollombi Brook one dark and stormy night long ago Our Cockfighter's Ghost Vineyard runs down to that fateful crossing at the foot of of the Brokenback Range in the Hunter Valley - Australia's oldest wine region The premium Reserve Cockfighter's Ghost label showcases outstanding single varietal wines from Australia finest regions. Made from mature low yeilding bunch-thinned vines from our vineyard estate this latest release is the epitome of classic Hunter Shiraz. Maturated for ten months in new and old American oak barriques this wine was carefully bottled-aged before release to further develop the complex flavour layers that characterise mature Shiraz from this region. The concentrated ripe fruit has conferred this wine with intense purple hued colour and a full-bodied palate Characteristic Hunter Shiraz spice is complemented by restrained vanilla oak balanced by soft yet persistent tannins A complex wine that will drink at its peak upon release yet reward further cellaring for up to ten years.
