07 'The Guilty' Shiraz, Mildura
With an all consuming passion for perfection, George Shinas draws on
time honoured traditions producing handcrafted wines. Shinas Estate
Wines minimizes irrigation of the vineyard, which reduces cropping
levels and enhances fruit quality.
The fruit is left on the vines long beyond traditional
periods, allowing the intense flavours that characterise the wine, to
develop. In true boutique style, only the highest quality fruit is
selected for harvest.
Barrel-aged, the Guilty has a concentrated aroma of mature
fruit, French Oak and flavours that are full, rich and rewarding.
The Mildura region is fast becoming known for its
Mediterranean climate, vineyards, classic wineries and great food. The
Guilty Shiraz and Innocent Viognier are no exception.
The first vines on the Estate were planted in 1898. The Guilty is produced from premium vineyards. Due to its limited production only a lucky few will ever get to taste it.

Tasting Notes
Ripe shiny blackberry red. Voluptuous cherry, vanilla and peppery spice aromas and full-bodied flavours packed with smoky vanillin oak, cherry and strawberry fruits, chocolate and mocha all wrapped up in a big, rich, velvety smooth package. A juicy wine with fine tannins, the pepper detected on the nose kicks in again to make a welcome re-appearance on the powerful finish. - Tasting note courtesy of Sue Courtney (wineoftheweek.com)
