Grown with minimal inputs on our Whites Valley vineyard, McLaren Vale. After a wet winter and dry spring things started moving quickly in McLaren Vale. Calm and smooth ripening prevailed after the fortunate relenting heat in January. The end of January brought with it rain, which helped to balance out the berry development and thus retaining the natural acidity. Disease pressure was low due to cool evenings and the strong sea breeze. Quality is exceptional – the Shiraz is a real standout variety from this vintage, exhibiting an abundance of vibrant red fruits.
The Shiraz was harvested on the 14th February, then de-stemmed and fermented in open top fermenters for 14 days. The Grenache was picked on 27th March and kept separate until final blending took place prior to bottling. A bright and refreshing expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Buoyant, yet juicy. Soft tannins give rise to a long, moreish finish.
