Hand picked at dawn this 2022 Shiraz is a great example of cool climate Shiraz with earthy tannins and distinctive white pepper hints. After hand picking the berries were destemmed and crushed into 3 ton fermenters. The ferment was temperature controlled to ensure a long and cool fermentation. After 6 weeks on skins the wine was pressed and moved to 500l French oak puncheons (20%) new. Aged for 12 months in oak and bottle aged for 6 months prior to release.

Medium bodied and with the classic flavour profile of dark fruits and pepper and the earthy flavours from the oak, this Shiraz will definitely pair well with your classic hearty steak dishes and stews. Though thanks to the effect of the cool climate, making it slightly lighter in body, with subtle acids, you can also enjoy it alongside dishes with lighter and fresher elements, such as fresh herbs and tomatoes.
