2005 ARAPILES RUN SHIRAZ

This magnificent Shiraz is crafted from the best fruit from our Shiraz vines, with our strong and determined emphasis on quality proudly displayed in this wine. This is a seductive wine, displaying rich dark purple hues with a bouquet of intense ripe berry fruits and spice with well-integrated oak. The palate is big, rich and lush with cedar and spice adding complexity, all creating a wine of great power and length.

Nestled between the Grampians and world famous Mt Arapiles, picturesque Norton Estate is on Victoria’s most southern outcrop of Mallee vegetation. Norton Estate vineyard’s elevation and loamy buckshot soils combined with a perfect Mediterranean climate provide the ultimate suite for premium wine production.

Low yields and intense viticultural control have procured a collection of finest quality shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and sauvignon blanc wines at Horsham’s finest cellar door. In less than a decade of production, Norton Estate wines have received the highest recognition in such esteemed publications as the James Halliday Australian Wine Companion.

Norton Estate’s 2004 Arapiles Run Shiraz is featured in the James Halliday Top 100 wines.
