- A juicy, fruity, and cool-climate Shiraz with spicy plum and blackberry fruit layered with a touch of violet and white pepper on the soft, lush palate. 2020 was an excellent vintage. The cooler growing season, with perfect day and night temperatures, allowed for a lovely natural balance in the fruit. No manipulation from the vineyard crew was required: these vintages produce some of the best fruit the vineyard has seen.
The grapes were fermented for eight days in a combination of rotary and small open fermenters at controlled temperatures, with selected yeasts to retain the purity and freshness of the cool-climate fruit. Skin contact for 10 days imparted the wine with colour, flavour, and fine tannins. Following fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic conversion and was matured for 18 months in seasoned French oak 500-litre puncheons and 228-litre barriques, of which 10% were new.

| Winery | Situated just 45 kilometres east of Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is a large and diverse cool-climate wine region. Its elevation spectacularly ranges from lows of 50m to heights of 1,250m due to the influence of the Great Dividing Range. The region is characterized by significant rainfall during winter and spring, which helps to nourish the vines throughout the dry but cool summers. The estate-grown Shiraz vines are 20 years old and planted in Yarra Glen, Yering, and Coldstream vineyards. An additional portion comes from Heathcote to help build a lovely chocolate complexity to the fruit. The vines are clones of PT23 and BVRC12. They are cane pruned and VSP trained, which suits the terroir of Duplex grey loam over yellow clay. The cooler site allows for excellent diurnal temperature shifts, which imbue the fruit with intense aromatics and natural, refreshing acidity. |
