Shiraz 2005
Red wine Cultivar: Shiraz
Our single vineyard Shiraz is our latest planting and consists of two distinctively different clones (Hybrids of the same plant species) Both clones together create an unique flavour and add complexity to the wine.
Alcohol / 15.2 % Residual Sugar /3.8 g/L
Style: barrique matured full bodied
Vinification: This cultivar was fermented in open tanks for 7 to 12 days, between 26°and 29° C. The fermentation "cap"(skins that float to the top of the wine) was hand plunged into the heart of the wine several times per day while simultaneously pumping the wine over. The fermented skins were given the gentlest of pressing in a traditional basket press before being selectively blended with the free run wine. Matured in genuine french barrique. The wine was bottled and labeled in November 2007.
