2011 Rusty Mutt Original Shiraz

$35.00

James Halliday hit the nail on the head. This Shiraz belies the common beliefs about the 2011 vintage. This wine has wonderful aromatics, typical of the vintage, however, the wine itself is intense and well structured. The fruit is bright and powerful, and the palate is well structured and full of flavour. I believe this wine will outlive most vintages either side of this most terrific 2011.

Description

While the weather was pretty poor in 2011, the real positive to come from this vintage was the great acidity and complex aromatics. This wine has great fruit and structure and may well outlive the 2010 or 2012.

“Who said the ’11 vintage created thin, unripe grapes? Not the Rusty Mutt. This has a strong, healthy colour, the bouquet and palate speaking first about the region, next about the variety, and finally the winemaker. The vintage was left with nothing to say in the face of abundant black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate set in a bed of ripe tannins and high-flavoured oak.”

Shipping & Delivery

AUSTALIA POST DELIVERY

Generally we use Australia Post for all deliveries.

In most cases, when you place an order the wine will be packed and delivered to the post office the next day. Standard delivery times to most capital cities is 2 - 5 days but this can sometimes go out to 7 days with pickup timings etc.

Express post is not really an option unless you contact me specifically. To express post wine we need to pack it in foam and the cost is much (much) more than I can absorb into my free and discounted delivery options.

Please order a minimum of 6 bottles (Rusty Mutt - 3 for Vermilion Bird) and then in multiples of 3 from there. This allows for the most efficient packing and price. Australia Post is not a charity. When I offer free delivery I still need to pay for it!
