Tasting Notes
Aroma
Intense aromas of red charries and plums with hints of spices and savoury oak.
Appearance
Deep red in colour with violet hues.
Palate
The medium bodied palate is plush and balanced with flavours of cherries, plums and nutmeg. Soft tannins from the oak add structure and complexity.
Vinification
This wine has been produced from Shiraz grapes picked in
late February from our Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard along
with local growers in Pokolbin. The grapes were crushed and
cold soaked for 3 days, then fermented in 7 tonne fermenters
for 10 days with pumping over twice a day. The wine was
pressed and put to French oak barriques and puncheons to
undergo maturation for 10 months. The wine was then
blended, sterile filtered and bottled under screwcap.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now or cellar for 5 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage began in the Hunter Valley with significant
late spring rainfall which then gave way to drier but cooler
than average weather through December and January. The
resulting long, cool ripening period allowed for the grapes to
develop complex and intense flavours, whilst maintaining
freshness and bright acidity .
