Description
- French & American oak
- Raspberry & blackberry
- Caramel spice
- Silken texture
"Superbly ripe and perfumed with black/blueberry, floral, toasted spice and hazelnut characters, it's fabulously juicy on the palate delivering silken texture and excellent persistency. Upfront and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2021
The 2020 Shiraz entices with a perfume of lifted raspberry, blackberry, and caramel spice. A rich, medium bodied wine with vibrant black fruits, well-integrated oak, and a smooth, lingering finish. Drink now whilst young or cellar up to 7-10 years.
2020 was a dry season with below average rainfall. Hot and windy conditions during flowering caused several vineyards to be inconsistent with fruit set, while hot conditions produced low crops with intense flavour. Diligent vineyard management prevailed, with excellent quality fruit having now produced wines with outstanding flavour. Working with our vineyards and loyal specialist growers this Shiraz is a blend of multiple vineyards throughout the Clare Valley.
Select Shiraz parcels were fermented in small batches across a two-week period. Cool ferments ensured that maximum vibrancy and freshness was maintained in the wines. The wines were pressed into stainless steel tanks to complete secondary malolactic fermentation, followed by maturation in tanks for freshness, with a small percentage seeing some French and American oak.
Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with great conversation and backyard BBQ’s. Smoked chicken, beef brisket and rich pasta dishes.
