A true reflection of its terroir, this wine shows perfume and spice, coupled with vibrant red berry and blueberry fruit, cedar and dark chocolate. Subtle oak spice plays a supporting role and adds a layered complexity.
100% Shiraz
Maturation was in the finest French oak barriques, of which 40% were new and remaining 1-3 year old oak. After 18 months, the wine was barrel selected and blended to best showcase the complexities and diversity of the Penny’s Hill Vineyard site.
The palate demonstrates a high level of fruit intensity, showing depth and concentration. This tightly structured wine is pure and elegant; its fine tannins have focus, direction and length to charm.
Individual shiraz blocks from the Penny’s Hill Vineyard site were harvested and vinified separately to best express the variations in terrior. Blocks were harvested during the small window of the 19th- 25th of February and fruit parcels were fermented on skins in open fermenters for 10 days.
