- This Shiraz blend features a rich and intense flavour profile. It offers a luxurious combination of cassis, vanilla, and mint chocolate notes. The wine opens with vibrant aromas of blueberry, plum, licorice, and toasty oak, leading to a full-bodied and opulent finish. The subtle and fine tannins complement the soft and elegant palate, characterised by dark cherry, plum, and white pepper notes.
The grapes were destemmed and crushed into 15-tonne static fermenters, where they were inoculated with carefully selected yeast. Fermentation continued for six days between 22°C and 26°C. The wine was pressed at 0.5 Baumé into stainless steel storage tanks and left to complete malolactic conversion. Once complete, each parcel was clarified via centrifuge and transferred into new and old French and American oak barrels for 14 months. The best barrels were carefully selected and blended before bottling.
The Bonsai impresses with impenetrable violet hues and delivers intense blueberry, plum, liquorice, and toasty oak aromas. Subtle fine tannins marry perfectly with the soft, elegant dark cherry, plum, and white pepper palate.

Winery | The vineyard was planted in 1996, with vines planted 1.5m apart and 3.3m between the rows. A single wire trellis system is used, which ensures good ventilation and minimal disease. The canopy is typically quite sparse, allowing maximum sunlight penetration. The vines are spur-pruned and grown in "Podsolics," an old grey soil formed over yellow clay that is sandy and slightly sodic. |
