Vine to Wine

Selected from the vineyard for intensity of flavour and hand harvested, the 2019 Legacy Shiraz was crushed and cold soaked for 48 hours. The ferment took place in open end barrels using a cultured yeast and the inclusion of whole berries prior to inoculation. Daily hand plunging and delestage twice during the height of fermentation. The ferment was allowed to exceed 30 degrees C for maximum extraction of colour and tannins. The Legacy Shiraz was pressed to 25% new French Puncheons and allowed to mature for 15 months. Prior to bottling select barrels were stabilised and underwent minimal filtration.

Pairs With

A good example of the elegance yet full flavour delivered by quality, cool climate Shiraz. Medium bodied, smooth, rich tannins, and notes of wild berries and dark chocolate complement a range of food pairings. A classic juicy rib eye fillet will still be tasty as would roasted beef but equally it can work with lamb shoulder, teriyaki meats, and stuffed mushrooms - to name a few.
