Barossa Valley, South Australia.
Variety: 100% Shiraz
Tasting Notes
Deep saturated purple in colour. The nose is lifted, pure and expressive. Dark stone fruits, cedar and spice intermingle With; hints of cloves and espresso. The palate is finely crafted, good density of mouthfeel with a lightness of weight. Savoury tannins round out the finish making this Bishop an ideal food wine.

The viticulture used is standard single wire, with permanent arm rod and spur. Many of the very old vines (80-120 years old) have now been trained onto a trellis for ease of pruning, harvesting and for disease and frost control.

Vinification: 1.5-2 Ton open fermenters, hand plunged 2-3 times daily. Extended maceration gives good tannin development which means the wine is soft and approachable early. 10-20% barrel fermentation for selected batches.
