The first vinatge of our crowd pleasing Shiraz. It has been lovingly cellared and is drinking beautifully. Silk smooth with some wonderfully svoury notes. 

VINEYARDS

We source a single vineyard in the Frankland River Region for this wine. This region is perfectly suited to producing many red and white varieties due to its continental climate combined with low vigour and moderate ripening conditions. We have chosen this particular vineyard for its ability to produce typical Frankland River Shiraz, which as a result of being a cool climate, is intense in colour with ripe flavours yet is elegant in style and structure.

WINEMAKING

The grapes where harvested during the cool of the night to ensure quality was maintained. A cool fermentation took place in static fermenters and gentle extraction of colour and flavour was achieved over a two week period. After primary ferment the wine was gently pressed off skins to a mix of new and older larger format French oak barrels. After 12 months maturation in barrel the wine was blended prior to bottling.

TASTING NOTES

This wine is made with fruit from the Frankland River Region of Western Australia, which produces wine with great richness of flavour. Spicy cherry and rich plum still showing with some lovely leathery notes. Aged in French oak for twelve months.
