Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Deep red with hints of purples. Intense aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and violet, with layers of mocha, black pepper, and subtle oak. Rich and full-bodied, the palate reveals fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. A true expression of site and vintage character.
Vineyard Notes
The 2024 vintage experienced favourable
growing conditions, contributing to
high-quality fruit with excellent balance and
depth. A cool, wet winter provided good soil
moisture, followed by a mild spring that
encouraged even budburst and flowering.
Summer remained moderate, with the
occasional warm spells but no extreme heat,
allowing gradual ripening and optimal flavour
development. Harvest conditions were ideal,
with dry weather ensuring clean, concentrated
fruit with balanced acidity and fine tannins.
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.
