Torzi Matthews Frost Dodger Eden Valley Shiraz 2008

Domenic Torzi's vineyard was planted in 1996 on very low yielding soils in Mt Mackenzie, up in a frost proned area of eden valley. Complex/layers of flavour in this handcrafted wine, wild yeasts, some whole bunch fermentation and grapes being dried on racks ( Domenic Torzi has adopted some of his italian heritage by drying the grape a bit like the valpolicella amarone or appassamento technique) predominantly french oak has produced red cherries, hints of fresh mint, aniseed , spice, raspberry with more-ish savoury leather on the finish. Very smart

Voted Top 100 Wines in Adelaide Advertiser Nov 2010 - 93 Points "Employing a traditional Italian method of drying fruit on racks to concentrate its juice before crushing, this wine is a regular in our best picks; here the 2008 is rich, ripe and bold with sweetly spiced berry compote that still doesn't lose its bright - lights of blueberry and mulberry fruit electricity"
