Tasting Notes
Intense deep ruby red with purple hues. Plum, dark cherry, licorice with round voluptuous oak and chocolate all playing supporting roles. This wine illustrates exactly how I have been handcrafting premium red wine for my entire life, in the vineyard. The terror and microclimate of specific blocks produce something different year with the obvious characters of this vintage being plum, anise, black pepper and chocolate. The extended time in barrel and use of different aged oak mainly older allowed this flavour to infiltrate the wine without over powering it and to run seamlessly into the natural tannin structure of the wine.
Technical Notes
Picking started in early March when I felt the colour and baume levels were at an optimum much later than has been the “norm” in recent times then the grapes were gently crushed and fermented in my small capacity open top fermenters for 7 days with plunging twice daily. The wine was then pressed and drained off into old American hogsheads’ for 12 months prior to bottling. This wine encapsulates Barossa Valley Shiraz the way it should be, an honest reflection of the vineyard where it was grown.
