Wine Description
Nautica Shiraz has been crafted exclusively from delicious, handpicked berries grown in mineral rich soils of a selected sea of vines. Experience a nose of pronounced dark forest fruits, white pepper, and smokey oak. With a palate of luscious black forest cake, earthy notes, and a long dark chocolate smokey finish. 2018 was an exceptional vintage for the great southern producing the highest standard of grapes of the region enabling us to produce this ultra-premium wine. The fruit was fermented in small one tonne fermenters, where the the tannin was gently extracted with hand plunging throughout the fermentation. When the wine had finished fermentation the wine was pressed to French Oak with 50% new barrels. Once matured for 15 months the best barrels were selected. The wine was un-fined and lightly filtered.
