Tasting Note
Aroma

Vibrant purple colour.

ClosureScrewcap
GrapeShiraz/Syrah
Grape Variety

Shiraz

Maturation

After 12 days on skins the wine was basket pressed and put to old French and American oak for 9 months. The wine was blended and bottled with no fining and no filtration.

Oaked
Palate

This wine has loads of blueberry and black pepper character on the nose. The whole bunch component gives a dried herb character to the wine and adds freshness to the palate. It is lighter and juicier than what you might expect from Barossa Valley Shiraz.

VarietalV_SHIRAZSYRAH
Vinification

30% whole bunch, fermented using wild yeast in small open fermenters; This wine was foot stomped to allow gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannins.

Another popular Gourmet Trail stop where you can find yourself oscillating between next-gen wine styling, such as this 30 per cent whole-bunch, wild-ferment, foot-stomped little beauty with its violet and blue-floral bouquet and slurpy, juicy, spicy medium-bodied delights, or a smashing Whistler 2015 Shiraz with more trademark, old-school oak in play in classic mode: rich, thicker around the waist, yet deliciously well-tempered and balanced.

The name goes well at suggesting the wine is a light-hearted affair, which is partly true. A ‘drink in youth’ style but you can see that fruit concentration, a sense of purity and general balance makes this a bit of a cut above. Joyous, berry-fruited and lightly spicy stuff.
