Shiraz, Barossa 2017

Intense ruby wine with purple tints. Very intense nose of jammy red fruits, kirsch liqueur and black berries. After aeration, more complexity with notes of laurel, pepper, cardamom and resiny pine forest Opulent attack in a crunchy style, with full-bodied and elegant tannins. A big freshness in finale with spices notes.

The grapes are selected from the inland, elevated Matapiro region and matures in French Oak Barriques. This vintage shows very good depth of vibrant plum and spice flavours, fresh and smooth.

Elegant, displaying cinnamon, spices and morello cherry with some toasted notes. The palate is exquisite and open with good complexity. The finish is long and delicious.

Château de Musset, located on the old town of Parsac, is of ancient origin as evidenced by a very beautiful vault topped with an elegant 18th century colonnade overlooking the vineyards and ‘pond. The domain was purchased in 1887 by Pierre and Musset and passed from generation to generation. Belonging to the family for over 150 years, this beautiful area is now owned by Mrs. Jean-Marie Gadenne. A family civil society operates the vineyard covering 7 hectares of sunny slopes ground clay and limestone. The cultivation and vinification are traditional there. The majority is planted with Merlot (70%) with the remainder planted with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Château de Musset remains a gathering place for the family. Many events offer the opportunity to receive and also to know the area.

The colour is an intense ruby red and is a fine sample of a complex wine with dry fruits and truffle. It is spicy and has a humid soil taste. Its tannins are mellow and soft with a pleasant and silky aftertaste.
