Vineyard Notes
Overall, 2022 was one the coolest
ripening periods with very good spring
rains and a cooler summer. This allowed
for slow flavour enhancement. Good
subsoil moisture allowed the fruit to grow
in perfect condition with no raisoning of
berries.
Winemaker Notes
The fruit was fermented in an open
fermenter for 8 days with a regular pump
over in the first couple of days, which was
then reduced to prevent extraction of bitter
tannins. After pressing the wine, it was
transferred to 10% new oak hogshead of
which 70% was French oak and 30% was
American oak. The balance was put into 3-
5 year old French oak barrels for
maturation period of 12 months. Individual
barrel selection allowed for this perfectly
handcrafted McLaren Vale Shiraz.
