The Stranger 2007 was made by Colin Sheppard at Murray St vineyards in Greenock. The Shiraz was purchased from a vineyard on Gomersal Rd in the Barossa while the Cabernet came from Moculta. The blend is 55% Shiraz & 45% Cabernet. The fruit was open fermented and basket pressed. The Shiraz is matured in American Oak, while the Cabernet is matured in French, both for 15 months.  The wine is unfiltered and unfined and benefits from decanting.

The nose is milk chocolate and red berry fruits with the milk chocolate carrying through onto the palate along with Anise and plenty of berry fruit.  Great balance and length with a hint of spice.
