2024 Light Dry Red Pinot Shiraz
Medal One
Medal Two
Fragrant with a blue violet lift and summer pudding of mixed berry fruits. The palate has a light touch yet is soft and plush, a faintest smokey grip from the use of stalks bringing some structure and drive to the finish. These varieties complement each other beautifully with the perfume, silk and spice of the Pinot sitting comfortably with the underlying structure of the cool climate Shiraz.
Reviews
Winemaking
Winemaking techniques used encourage an exotic floral fragrance coupled by an expansive fruit palate and a fine tannin framework. Pinot noir was fermented with whole berries in 600kg fermenters and hand plunged gently. Shiraz was 100% whole bunch fermented, left untouched for 10 days before destemming to complete ferment as whole berries. The individual components spent 9 months in used French oak barriques in our underground cellar before blending and bottling.
