Rabbit & Spaghetti, Icon Reserve Shiraz, South Australia 2017

Stylistically this is a big wine but it’s made in small steps. Individual parcels of fruit are fermented in small open-topped fermenters. Each is hand-plunged during a cool, long ferment before basket-pressing and aging in French oak, 30% new. It’s a bright, inky Shiraz with damson and raspberry jam fruit, dried herbs and a chewy liquorice edge.
