Excited by the response we got with our Gorgeous Grenache, we’ve taken a similarly left-field approach to Shiraz by taking old vines and co-fermenting with a little Zibibbo to make a delicious, but very different Shiraz.
A small proportion of Zibibbo, otherwise known as Muscat, was cofermented using wild yeasts. A short ageing in old French oak followed by bottling young to preserve the hugely aromatic, textural deliciousness that we sought from the outset.
The Shiraz was all picked from one old vineyard in the Riverland, a property that had been growing grapes since the early soldier settlements.
Not your average Shiraz! On the nose there are peaches, ripe nectarine, wild raspberry and a little spice. The palate is soft and slurpy, the texture silky and any tannins just add a little seasoning – like macerated strawberries and black pepper. Turning a previously undervalued resource into something that is hugely enjoyable and ultimately gorgeous.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
