The winner of a dizzying array of awards - winning gold in the Portugal Wine Trophy and platinum at the Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition - Wakefield's Masterstroke Shiraz was matured in new and older American oak barrels for six months before being bottled.
Masterstroke is one of the newest ranges to be released by Wakefield Wines. This is where they pay tribute to the regional discoveries and innovative decisions that have shaped the course of Australian winemaking. This wine is an homage to the great blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. On the nose, it presents layers of red plum and black cherry before unfurling notes of mocha, sweet vanilla and spice.
The real masterstroke will be hiding a couple of these in the cellar and forgetting about them for a while. But if you can’t resist it now, it's primed for immediate enjoyment.
Inspired by his love of Bordeaux’s Médoc and the fine terroir of South Australia’s Clare Valley, Bill Taylor founded his winery on the banks of the Wakefield River in 1969. He entered his inaugural Cabernet Sauvignon vintage into the Royal Adelaide Wine Show in 1973 and picked up the prestigious Montgomery Trophy for best red wine in show. Fast forward fifty years and Bill’s grandson Mitchell Taylor now runs Wakefield Wines and they’ve received more than 2,000 medals and awards over the intervening years.
