Tasting Notes
2019 was a powerful Shiraz vintage and that is reflected in its stronger representation in this year’s blend. The depth and complexity is due in part to its extended bottle age prior to release. Ben immediately saw the power of this vintage and gave it two extra years in bottle prior to release. Dark fruit, cocoa and cigar box notes and accented by a myriad of delicate spices. Although this premium blend has been allowed time to mature it still shows all the signs of being worthy of further age. Give it time to breath once open or a few minutes in a decanter to let it truly express itself.
Vinification
The best grapes from the finest vineyards in Langhorne Creek are recruited to create this premuim blend. The fruit was harvested at night and then crushed into small open top fermenters. After 24 hours of skin contact, fermentation was commenced with our Rhône isolate yeast. Following 7 days of cool fermentation on skins and hand-plunging three times daily, the wine was transferred to oak hogsheads for malolactic transformation, racking and a further 14 months of maturation. The wine was then allowed to further age in bottle to give it a full 6 years of maturation!
