The Adelaide Hills experienced another exceptional vintage on the back of one of the best ever in 2021. A wet winter and spring, followed by a dry and mild summer created a long ripening period which led to excellent flavour development whilst maintaining natural acidity.
This bright cool climate single vineyard Shiraz (or Syrah) was harvested in the cool of the morning in early April. The wine was destemmed and cold soaked for 12 hours, then warmed with yeast added to start fermentation. The ferment was pumped over twice a day for 7 days, providing air, but also making sure the wine didn’t become too tanic. Following fermentation the wine was pressed, settled for a day and then matured in French oak barriques for 7 months of which 10% was new.
