Shiraz 2021

Vintage Sourced from the Frankland River region of Western Australia, fruit was harvested early morning before being transported to the winery where fruit was crushed and stemmed before transfer to a closed fermenter. Following fermentation the must was pressed off skins to tank more for MOX for 6 months to help set colour and improved mouthfeel. Post maturation the wine was cold settled before racking and canning. No fining agents or filtration, minimal use of SO2. Sensory Deep tones of brooding black fruits are given pois and lift by aromas of red cherries and white peppercorns. Coating tannin laced with tones of graphite and cocoa form a rich yet lively textural core, culminating in a soft and succulent finish.

Jancis Robinson (15.5pts) “...Deep purplish crimson. Rather reduced nose – the least aromatic of these five canned Western Australian wines. But it’s convincingly salty and varietal without the high alcohol being at all obvious. Apart from the missing aroma, this is savoury and lightly sweet but not thick. Clearly proper rather than industrial wine. This almost deserves a score of 16. Drink 2022-2023”
