Michel Chapoutier brings his formidable talents to Australian Shiraz. On Sale!
Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier combines the vision of Anthony J. Terlato, the founder of luxury importer and marketer Terlato Wines International and Michel Chapoutier, the esteemed Rhone grower and vintner whose compelling wines have been exalted by critics around the world. The origin of the Terlato & Chapoutier partnership in Australia dates back to 1998, when Chapoutier enthusiastically told Terlato about a top vineyard site in Australia. Located on an eastern-facing slope on the southern edge of the Pyrenees Hills in western Central Victoria, the region's soil could produce "great wines", according to Chapoutier.
This Shiraz from the Malakoff vineyard scored 95 points from Jeb Dunnuck who said "Coming from a hot year, the inky color 2013 Shiraz Lieu-Dit Malakoff offers gorgeous amounts of crème de cassis, blueberries, crushed violets, a kiss of mint, and ample roasted herb-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, lusty, hedonistic and utterly sexy, with no hard edges, this killer Shiraz can be drunk today with incredible pleasure or cellared for 10-15 years."
