V I T I C U LT U R E
Made from 100% Barossa Valley Shiraz from over fifty year old dry grown vines. Each year, this single vineyard receives special attention. Traditional hand pruning methods are applied, the fruit is harvested at what is considered to be optimal ripeness and flavour in accordance to terrior, soil type and micro climate.
VINIFICATION
Crushed and de-stemmed into open fermenters, with fermentation temperature controlled at 25° C. Must is pumped over twice each day. Free run is removed from skins and the pressings are gently pressed via airbag batch press, with free run and 10% pressings reblended prior to molactic fermentation.
MATURATION
20 months in French and American oak hogsheads.
COMMENTS
The 2018/19 growing season was relatively dry with below mean annual rainfall. December and January faced hot dry climatic conditions leading to lower yields yet ideal ripening time for varietal fruit flavour progress in late February and early March. Deep crimson red in colour this Shiraz offers rich blackcurrant and mulberry aromas and flavours, layered with chocolate, liquorice and pepper spice. This wine is balanced with cedar oak and lingering fine silky tannins. Drink now or benefit by careful cellaring well into the next decade and beyond.
