Five GeeseOld Vine Shiraz "The Pippali" 2018
About this product
Rich, plush and swamped with black raspberry and dark plum sit over a scorched earth, vanillin oak and sweet pepper back drop. Velvet smooth tannins.
Fruit is from Sue Trotts vineyard located in the Blewit Springs sub region of McLaren Vale, at an elevation of 200m.
The deep sand soils contribute to the low yields and the intensity of the wine, giving it the unique Blewitt Springs character.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Hand picked. 7 days on skins. 24 months of maturation in 1st-and 2nd-use French oak. Regional enough, be it the stamp of place or the traditional approach to making wine in these parts, I am sure. Dark plum, Asian herb, baking spice, anise and spiky acidity. Rich, round and slickly made.
