Vines
The grapes that make up this wine are a blend of the 1970 “old vine” original plantings as well as some more modern clones planted with the expansion of the vineyard in 2000; four distinct Shiraz clones BVRC12, SA1127, 1654, ESA3021 were planted.
Wine Violets and plummy fruits make for a lively, generously fruitful wine entwined with a pink peppercorn spice element. An elegant style reflecting its cool climate origins, it’s medium bodied weight, a cool undercurrent of blue fruits, the succulent and richly layered palate is supported by some stalk tannin firmness.
Winemaking
The majority of fruit was destemmed gently to retain many whole berries to a series of
small 600kg fermenters. Occasional use of 20% whole bunch inclusion to some
fermenters brings a fruit succulence and a stalk lift to the nose and a welcome tannin
presence to the palate. Hand plunged gently to aid in the extraction of colour, flavour and tactile palate components. Maturation time in barrel was 15 months prior to bottling. All 228L oak barriques, 100% French with 10% new barrels.
Cellaring
Given the freshness and immediacy of expression it currently displays, it is ready for
enjoyment right now. Expect a graceful and satisfying evolution for up to 5 years under
suitable cellaring conditions.
