Barossa Valley Black on Black Shiraz 2019

Black on Black Shiraz from the depth of the Western side of the Barossawith grapes from Bethany, our dry grown vineyardsfrom some very old vines giving an average age over 30 years old. The fruit was allowed to fully ripen to ensure a good balance of acidity and fruit characters.
Grapes were mainly hand picked and processed in the cool of the night, gently crushed and destemmed in open tanks with yeast added within 24hrs. Ferment was regularly hand plunged and turned over every day for a minimum of 10 days before beingrun off and pressed to tank ensuring lots of skin contact.The wine was then put to rest and carefully monitored and topped as needed for 24 months in smal French and American Oak barrels then only the best barrels were blended just prior to bottling.
Pure black design with environmentally friendly water-based paint could provide an ideal environment for the wine and protect it from light. As a result, a good aging potential could be expected.
