Region: Langhorne Creek
Grapes: Shiraz
First Glance: Plum, Spice, Liquorice, Pepper
The Wine:
De-stemmed to open fermenters, approx. 15% whole berry, for a short soak. Fermentation peak at 30°C with up to 4 pump overs per day, decreasing towards the end of ferment. Drained & pressed at dryness after 7 to 10 days on skins, settled for 24-48 hours before racking to oak for MLF.
Shiraz was the first red grape variety planted in Langhorne Creek at Bleasdale in 1858.
This wine shows flavours of ripe plums and other dark berries, layered with liquorice, pepper and fresh spices. Drinking well now, but with the potential to be a long term cellaring prospect if desired.
