WINEMAKER Nicholas Crampton & Aaron Woods What do you love about aged shiraz?

Cool climate shiraz is such a great cellaring style. The wines are naturally balanced and precisely structured – built to age. With time, the wines move from primary fruit to a more complex array of spice, earthy forest undergrowth and wild herbs.
