A bright and refreshing expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Fruit forward, round and fleshy. Smooth tannins give rise to a long, moreish finish.
97% Shiraz (planted 1996) and 3% Grenache (planted 1945). Hand-picked in mid-late February and fermented with indigenous yeast in open top fermenters, with 12% whole bunch. The Shiraz spent a total of 14 days on skins. While the Grenache (3%) spent 11 days on skins, naturally beginning fermentation on day 3. Pressed together into seasoned puncheons. Matured in 100% 4-year-old French oak for 8 months. Blended just prior to bottling. No fining.
