2012 SEVENHILL CELLARS BROTHER JOHN MAY RESERVE SHIRAZ

RRP $110 / 2035

This celebrates 31 years of the universally loved Sevenhill winemaker Brother John May, his role theoretically ending in ’03, but continuing as ‘winemaker emeritus’ for a decade thereafter. The wine itself is a rock of ages with layer upon layer of dark berry fruits, savoury tannins, and sweet oak entirely consistent with the style and balancing the savoury notes. 15.5% alc

WINEMAKER Liz Heidenreich What do you love about aged wine?

The richness of the 2012 Brother John May is typical of the depth of flavour provided by old shiraz vines. It is a wine that will age graciously, as ripe tannins and generous fruit integrate over the next 10 to 15 years.
