Description
The best structured and most mouth filling parcels of Shiraz from the St Jakobi block are blended together each year for the "Oscar Semmler" Shiraz. The "Oscar" is the reserve label for Dutschke, representing "the best of the vintage" from the 1975 block of Shiraz. Oscar Semmler Shiraz is a full bodied ripe and generously fruit filled wine, showing mid palate fruit flavours characteristic of plum and black berries. The spicy French oak characters and fine grain grape tannins compliment the round sweet fruit palate concentration. The finish is long, with firm tannins and clean acidity. It's a wine that will further soften and complex with careful cellaring. 5 - 10 years cellaring will result in a more complex wine.
