Hare’s Chase Lepus Shiraz

‘The Lepus’ constellation sits just South of the celestial equator, the figure of a Hare bounding ahead of Orian and his hounds. A symbol of Hare’s Chase aspirations to create the very best Shiraz from fruit grown on their own estate in Marananga. Colour: An impenetrable deep garnet with a crimson hue. Aroma: Layered black and savoury fruit characters of black cherry, dark plum, blackberry, black olive and charcuterie with whole black pepper and five-spice. Palate: Dark and brooding, rich and full, these black and savoury fruit characters cascade lithely across the palate with warmth, generosity and finesse.
