Blue Pyrenees Richardson Shiraz 2012

The Richardson Reserve Shiraz wines are produced from the most exceptional parcels of fruit as identified by the Blue Pyrenees team; the same philosophy established in the 1990’s to create exceptional Blue Pyrenees red wine as a tribute to the late Colin Richardson.  This wine was vinified and then, matured in 28% new oak, before final blending and preparation for bottling. Vinification included warm fermentation, and extended skin contact for 2 weeks, before 24 months maturation in new and two-year-old French and American oak barriques, ensuring complexity, smoothness and integration of all the flavour components and fine tannin, before bottling.

The Blue Pyrenees 2012 Richardson Shiraz has been awarded 4 gold medals, at the 2014 Wine Showcase magazine awards, the 2015 Australian National Single Vineyard Wine Show, and gold medals at the 2015 & 2016 China Wine & Spirit Awards. Also awarded 96 points from Huon Hooke and Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine in Sydney and named Global Master Syrah (top rating 95 points) by Drinks Magazine London.
