Description
"A very fresh shiraz showing blueberry essence, citrus, blood oranges, freshly cut herbs and rosewater. Medium body, some delicious and firm tannins and a fruity finish. Very fun" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Jul 2018
Vibrant purple colour, this wine has loads of blueberry and black pepper character on the nose. The whole bunch component gives a dried herb character to the wine, and adds freshness to the palate. It is lighter and juicier than what you might expect from Barossa Valley Shiraz, making it a great drink on its own, which can also pair well with red meat dishes. You don't have to wait until Friday to drink this wine though!
100% grown on Whistlers Estate vineyards using organic practices, this fruit comes from their younger vines, which were planted in 1997 and grow on loamy soils with broken quartz and ironstone scattered throughout.
30% whole bunch, fermented using wild yeast in small open fermenters; This wine was foot stomped to allow gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. After 12 days on skins the wine was basket pressed and put to old French and American oak for 9 months. The wine was blended and bottled with no fining and no filtration.
Ready to drink now or cellar for up to 10 years.
