PENNA LANE – CLARE VALLEY, SA
Penna Lane’s winemaker, Peter Treloar, has a connection with the Clare wine region that began five generations ago. In 1865 Peter’s ancestor, Francis Treloar, acquired land in Watervale and planted the first vines in the area which became known as Springvale. The Penna Lane vines were planted from 1996 to 1998 . The vineyard is recognised as one of the best in the Clare Valley. Growing at an elevation of approximately 450 metres, the grapes benefit from a long, slow ripening period, which intensifies their flavour. Mostly dry grown, the vines are watered only during periods of extreme dryness.
Shiraz 2018
The grapes for this Shiraz are from our estate vineyards in the Skilly Valley, which are some of the Clare Valley’s most elevated.
This elevation contributes to a wine that is bright, varietal and complex.
Penna Lane's approach is to work with the typical shiraz flavours of plum and blueberry and complement these with savoury flavours, through oak selection and maturation techniques.
