ShottesbrookeSingle Vineyard Jenkins Shiraz 2013
About this product
Picked on the 20th of February 2013, the wine spent nine months maturing in a combination of three and four year old french oak barrels. A neutral yeast was used to allow the unique fruit and vineyard character to come to the fore, while short, twice-daily pump overs allowed the wine to develop flavour, yet not become over-extracted. As a result, this wine is a fine example of balance, character and alluring intrigue.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Grapes grown on the Lazy Ballerina trellis; 9 months in French oak. The trellis was developed for cool regions needing maximum exposure of the grapes to sunlight; it's hard to pin down, but there is something missing on the mid to back-palate. 500 dozen made.
