Red Knot Shiraz displays rich aromas of strawberry and blackberry. Nuances of spice, milk chocolate and a subtle frame of French and American oak with silky tannins gives long persistence of flavour and structure.
McLaren Vale had good winter, and early spring rains were followed by a generally dry and temperate growing season. Good flowering conditions, particularly for the later ripening varieties, resulted in higher berry numbers per bunch. Canopies developed well and were balanced to slightly above-average yields. Slow and steady ripening, without excessive
heat events resulted in superb varietal fruit intensity with balanced natural acidity and fine tannin structures.
A warm start to the vintage period, but a long cool period over most of summer and autumn, led to an excellent flavour maturity balanced perfectly with sugar ripeness. Enhanced natural acidity allowed for great colour retention and depth, wines which were a joy to craft.
Red Knot wines are crafted from grapes grown in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia. A true reflection of the region's unique terroir, which is characterised by its warm Mediterranean climate, proximity to the sea and award-winning wines.
Food Pairing: Best paired with eggplant parmigiana.
