Winemaking - 2018 was a great vintage, Australia-wide. Warm days and drought conditions meant dry, disease-free ripening, and little water means intense, concentrated fruit. The idea of the limited, small parcel black Shiraz was born to create a blend of our favourite premium Shiraz from around Australia. The selected parcels for our first release are from Mount Lofty - South Australia, Gundagai - New South Wales and Heathcote in Victoria. These parcels were fermented in stainless steel and stored in new French and American oak for approximately 14 months, the best barrels were then selected and blended for the final result.
Tasting Notes - The Limited Release Black Shiraz is a deep, complex Shiraz with aromas of forest fruits, black cherry and blueberry over toasted oak, with a soft yet generous palate and flavours of plum, blackberry, vanilla bean and caramel.
Region - 45% Mt Lofty Ranges, 30% Gundagai, 21% Heathcote.
Style Dry, full-bodied.
Food Match - Enjoy on its own or with slow-cooked beef cheeks.
Cellaring - Drink now or cellar and see the flavours develop.
