This is the seventh vintage of the Coonawarra Series Shiraz, and unlike its Cabernet Sauvignon sibling, this wine is sourced from fruit grown on the red soils in the earlier-ripening northern part of Coonawarra. Following harvest, in March 2018, the grapes were fermented in closed static fermenters, with fruit remaining on skins for 8 - 10 days to increase flavour, tannin and colour extraction.
Maturation took place in second-fill French oak Barriques and Hogsheads for eight months maturation before bottling.
The Coonawarra Series Shiraz is made in a ripe and generous style with elegance and spicy varietal characteristics, typical of this cool climate region.
There’ll be no complaints about this. It’s soft and slurpable with red berried fruit flavour and dashes of cloves. In fact woodsy spice in general. It’s clean, fresh and generally well flavoured but without quite the punch through the finish for high points. It does though provide enjoyable drinking.
