Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. All Kooyong and Port Phillip Estate wines are entirely domain grown, vinified and bottled.
The Port Phillip Estate vineyard was planted in 1987 and acquired by the Gjergja family in 2000. Located in Red Hill, the ten hectare site is planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc, all on northerly and easterly-facing slopes.
The 2019 Port Phillip Estate Shiraz is a single site wine produced from 0.53 hectares of estate vineyard.
The fruit was fermented with indigenous yeasts and a small amount of whole bunch in open top concrete and wooden fermenters for 20 days. Malolactic fermentation is indigenous and the period of elévage was 16 months in old French oak barriques. This wine was bottled without fining or filtration
Deep red in colour. The nose is aromatically bright with a complex mix of black fruits, wet stone and charcuterie. The palate, with blackcurrant and black pepper flavours, is supple with a medium bodied weight, but is balanced with dense spicy tannins and a long sustained finish.
