2018 Estate 'Old Vine' Shiraz
5 Star Rated Winery - Organic Winery of the Year
COLOUR:Dark ruby red.
NOSE:Aromas of intense dark cherry, violets and roasted coffee bean with underlying pepper nuances.
PALATE: Clean full-bodied flavours of bright raspberry, pepper and ripe dark cherry cloaked by soft, silky tannins. A satisfyingly long finish of toasty blackberry and soft black pepper.
WINEMAKING
This Shiraz is from our oldest vines, planted in 1971. It was crushed and fermented on skins for 8 to 10 days in open-ended oak barrels, and hand plunged to maximise fruit aroma and flavour without excessive tannin extraction. Pressings and Free Run were combined, and the wine was transferred to new French and American oak Hogsheads.
FOOD PAIRING
This is an ideal match with refined meat dishes such as roast lamb, Wagyu, terrines and stews.
VINTAGE NOTES
Cool conditions in early spring enabled a subsequent long growing season. A
warm dry summer subsided into ideal cooler autumn conditions prior to
harvest.
