Region: Barossa, South Australia
Winemaking
Harvested at ideal ripeness from a number of vineyards across the length and breadth of the Barossa (including both the Barossa and Eden Valleys).
Fermented on skins for 7-12 days in closed fermenters at moderate temperatures ranging from 12-26 degrees celcius. A very moderate oak regime, comprising 25 per cent new and the rest older, French oak, for 9-12 months.
Winemaker’s Tasting Note:
Having set out to make a mid-weight style of shiraz that shows definitive regional typicity, we’re very pleased with the result. With moderate alcohol and very supple oak influence, Barossa dark fruits and black chocolate characters rise to the fore, it’s generous and appealing, with soft, fine powdery tannins and lovely length of flavour. Enjoyable immediately upon release and will cellar comfortably for 5-7 years.
