Shiraz
Picturesque Madfish Bay is located in the remote southern corner of Western Australia. The bay's tranquility is broken when two tides meet. According to local folklore, the fish, confused by this natural phenomenon, can be observed leaping in the air as if in a state of complete madness. The MadFish wine range and label, first released in 1992, was named as an homage to this unique geographical occurrence. The superb climate of South West Australia has always been conducive to the cultivation of healthy wine grapes with attractive and vibrant fruit flavors.
MadFish Shiraz shows an abundant and rich array of varietal expressions which are layered and pure.
Tasting Notes
Once harvested, the grapes were then fermented in stainless steel tanks with traditional pump-overs carried out each day to aid fruit and tannin development. The parcels of fruit were then pressed to French oak barrels for 12 months maturation to encourage wine development and structural complexity.
Food Pairing
A rich, garnet color with great density. The nose is generous with rich dark cherry, black & blueberry compote aromas, and subtle savoury notes. The palate offers dark plum, cherry, and chocolate flavours, an earthy complexity, supple tannins, and ample length. An opulent, full-bodied wine with excellent concentrated fruit flavours and soft approachable palate.
