The Characteristics This is one of the more pure fruited versions of this iconic wine that we have seen in recent times. Highly aromatic in the early stages of its life, the nose is dominated by an array of perfectly ripe berry fruits and spicy notes. The dark, earthy and savoury characters that we ...more »are well accustomed to, whilst present, seem to be taking a back seat. Nonetheless, they play an integral role in adding depth and complexity here. The palate is similarly positioned, showing almost restrained fruit weight but great depth of flavour and wonderful brightness. What hasn't changed is that line of fine, lively tannins that present themselves early and drive the wine from start to finish, drawing fruit flavour along with them.
Cellaring Potential The youthful exuberance and purity offers itself up for relatively early consumption (in Dead Arm terms that is). However, the lovely balance between acid and tannin along with the depth of fruit promises greater things to come. Watch patiently as the earthy vineyard expression grows with time. This wine will reach its full potential with bottle age up to at least 20 years. The considerable structure and depth will ensure that the fruit characters will develop over time revealing more complexity. This wine is best stored in an environment free of direct sunlight and with consistent temperatures between 10°C and 15°C

Ripe dark berries dominate the fleshy, juicy mid-palate of the Beresford Bell Tower Shiraz 2013. The wine displays great richness and depth of flavour, finishing with subtle, fine tannins.
Don't let the mischievous name fool you - this is a premium wine with the grapes being gently pressed at night to ensure optimum quality. It has sweet varietal fruit and a lingering dark chocolate promise.
Great with a peppered steak pie with peas and plenty of mash on a cold winter’s night.
