Yarra Valley |
|
2017 was an exceptional year. A classic Yarra Valley growing season, a wet Spring followed by moderate daily temperatures and cool nights. Perfectly balanced vines allowed the grapes to ripen in optimal conditions. In these years, the pristine fruit flavours combined with intensity and power give the wine balance and longevity. |

Svelte and sophisticated. The rick black berry and plum fruit meld beautifully with the peppercorn and anise spices. Balanced and complex, the mid-palate seamlessly extends to a long and graceful finish. Velvet-like tannins support the fruit and enhance the overall opulence. |

Handpicked and destemmed, the whole berries were cold soaked for 4 days prior to inoculation. 3% Viognier was co-fermented with the Shiraz in open fermenters. Hand plunged twice daily and pressed to barrel at the end of fermentation. |

The cool Yarra vintage has accentuated the attractive spice this wine always displays, the plum and blackberry fruit providing the flesh and sweetness. Velvety in texture, it flows seamlessly along the palate with fine, ripe tannin in escort.
