Tasting Notes
Maturation
17 months on fine lees in neutral French barrels
Vinification
3t open top cement fermenter, indigenous yeast,
25% whole-bunch, two-week ferment, hand-plunging
& pumpover twice daily
Region Notes
We source Shiraz from vineyards in the Eden Valley which develop flavour at
lower than usual alcohols and show ripeness in their stems too. We use cement
as a fermentation vessel; which holds the acidity and tannins in a fresher light.
We mature (instead of age) the wine in larger more neutral oak so the fruit and
stem tannin can give the wine a different experience with protein dishes.
Pour it in PLUMM
