Suggested Links:
Fruit selection was paramount; only the best blocks were retained for the Bull Ant label, and often, only the fruit from the best rows of these blocks was retained. The grapes were fermented on their skins for seven days in small, open fermenters. A daily regime of three racks, returns, and pump-overs ensured the desired level of extraction. The wine was matured in French and American oak for 16 months to soften it while retaining primary fruit characters. The wine was not fined or filtered before bottling.
This stunning, cool-climate Shiraz has alluring aromas of plums and chocolate enveloped in a touch of earthy complexity. It is rich, full-bodied, and full of vibrant black fruits on the palate, with a long, soft finish.

| Winery | The Langhorne Creek is situated south-east of Adelaide and is a premium viticultural region with cooling lake and ocean breezes. The average age of the Lake Breeze vines is 50 years, with the youngest plantings taking place 25 years ago and the oldest vines having been planted 90 years ago. All of the vines are cultivated on their rootstocks in soils that are generally alluvial sandy loam, with some parts over a clay base. The vineyards are surrounded by striking, historically important gum trees that still bear the holes once dug out by the Aboriginal Australians, which were carved into canoes to sail up the river. The Bull Ant depicted on the label refers to the ants discovered in the vineyard when it was first planted; their propensity for biting encouraged swift work in the vineyard! |
