Tasting Notes
Aroma
This 2021 vintage shiraz has wonderful balance
and intensity of flavour. Bright dark berry fruit
and lifted spice dominate the aromas, with
subtle supporting French oak.
Palate
The palate is
plush and silky, loaded with dark fruited shiraz
intensity. Fine structure and excellent
concentration.
Vinification
The hand picked grapes were fermented in a
combination of open fermenters both stainless
steel and traditional oak, with up to three weeks
total time on skins. There were 7 individual
batches, with a couple of those receiving whole
bunches. The wines were then pressed and
transferred immediately into barrels for
malolactic fermentation. Remained in barrel for
a total of 12 months (100% French oak, 500L
hogsheads) and during maturation was racked
three times.
Cellaring Potential
Drink 2025-2030.
Vintage Notes
After the long dry spell through 2019-2020, the 2021 season thankfully started with
a nice wet winter, replenishing the water supply and ground water. Spring was mild
and uneventful, and the summer was another relatively mild one, without any
serious heat spikes. Ripening was even and the wines have great intensity and
depth of flavour.
