Peter Forrestal, co-editor of the Wine Magazine, described the Benedictine Abbey Shiraz 1998 as light in body and made as an early drinking style showing a lovely honest fruit nose and a palate of gentle macerated cherry and red berry flavours.
Benedictine Abbey Chenin 2004 shows some remarkably cool climate characteristics given its geographic origin and is essentially a fresh crisp and very approachable wine with pleasant flavours of pear and green apple, finishing with clean soft acid.
After an absence of nearly 30 years New Norcia has again become involved in the production of wine. On a beautiful day in May, the merry month, the monks of New Norcia celebrated the launch of Benedictine Abbey Shiraz 1998 and Benedictine Abbey Chenin.
