Jacob's Creek 'Double Barrel - Scotch Whisky Finish ' Shiraz

The full, generous flavours of classic Barossa Shiraz are enhanced by careful use of aged Scotch whisky barrels for finishing. The intense nose offers cedar, vanilla bean and buttered toast with notes of pecan nut and roast cashew.  Double Barrel Shiraz has a full and generous palate with a beguiling mix of sweet red fruits and dark chocolate indicative of its origins as Barossa Shiraz. Subtle toasty vanillin derives from aging in traditional French and American oak wine barrels. The careful use of aged Scotch whisky barrels for finishing has added complex nuances of almond-husks and also softened the dense tannins to yield an incredible smoothness.  An attractive, savoury palate of blackberry and ripe plum with integrated charry notes and a lovely soft finish. Enjoy with pan seared scotch fillet of beef wrapped in smoky bacon.
