Deep garnet purple colored, the 2008 Shiraz is profoundly scented of warm blackberry and kirsch with supporting notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, anise, loam, damp leaves, rose petals and a touch of dried mint. Full, crisp and rich it has medium-firm fine-grained tannins and a long slightly warm finish with a suggestion of oak poking through. It should drink best from 2012 to 2017+. Majella has had the same grower, winemaker and formula since the first vintage in 1991. This is a family run business with Brian Lynn looking after the sales and management of the property while his brother Anthony tends to the viticultural side. Majella exports to most major markets including Singapore, HK, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Korea, Taiwan, China, India, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and Canada.
