Palate
Soft, fleshy-textured Shiraz displaying blueberries and spice, supple tannins and
stylish French oak influence.
Winemaking
We selected premium parcels of Shiraz from around the Blewitt Springs – Willunga
area of southern McLaren Vale, where the hills run down to the ocean. 2014 was
a challenging season with heavy winter rainfalls in the lead up to a dry and windy
summer. Sensible harvest decisions ensured very good quality fruit reached the
winery. Fermented on skins in a combination of open and closed fermenters and
matured in French oak for 12-14 months. We are pleased with how the oak works in
conjunction with the ripe, juicy fruit flavours.
