Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of expressive bouquets of spice, cracked pepper, menthol, plum, ink, cherry and rose oil.
Maturation
Maturation was in one to five year old French oak hogsheads and puncheons.
Appearance
2023 Fields of Joy shines a brilliant
bright violet purple in the glass, classic
Clare Valley.
Palate
This medium-bodied Shiraz has a dense, round palate with a
velvety coating that wraps around your tongue. With flavours
of spice, plum, and inky black fruit, complemented by a touch
of eucalypt and black pepper. Clare Valley’s hallmark poise
and elegance shines through, with tannins that are soft and
caressing. As the purple fruits deepen, they carry through to
a mouth-puckering finish that lingers with persistent intensity.
Vinification
Crushed and fermented in three and five tonne open top
fermenters with regular pump overs; three daily during peak
fermentation. Following an average of 12 days of maceration, the
dry free run was drained to tank. The skins were then pressed
and the pressings combined with the free run, the wine was then
racked to barrel. Minimal fining and non-filtered.
Cellaring Potential
The wine is creamy and strikingly delicious now, yet it promises
to age beautifully for many years to come.

Vintage Notes
The 2023 season was challenging, we experienced a very
wet winter with a number of very humid days to match. Heat
summation over summer and sun daylight hours were going to
be much lower than we were normally used to, presenting us
with a much slower ripening curve. With wine we put the vintage
year on the label for a reason, to show what we can achieve in an
independent 12-month period, from pruning to wine in barrels.
Region Notes
Clare’s climate is Mediterranean with
typically warm to hot summers and
cool to cold winters. The temperature
leads to slower and more even
ripening, allowing the region to make
some of the best Rieslings in Australia
and plush medium-bodied reds.
