by: Geoff Hardy 'red label' Shiraz

Shiraz

Adelaide Hills

Story: Sourced from a selection of premium Adelaide Hills Shiraz vineyards, produced to showcase the regions ability to balance flavour and structure with finnese and elegance

Vintage: The 2019 growing season started slowly, but warmer weather eventually helped to speed things up. Fruit set throughout the region was good and the low rainfall and warm weather from January to April resulted in great sugar development, while a cooler than average March offered ideal night temperatures for colour and flavour development.

Nose: This wine offers restrained cool climate Shirazaromas of red and blue berries

Palate: The palate is structured and elegant with fine chalky tannins and a long fruit driven finish.

Food Pairings: perfect with a selection of hard cheeses.

Oak Maturation: 10% new French oak for 12 months.

Cellaring: Drink now or to 2030

Winemaker: Shane Harris

Alc: 14.5% pH: 3.52

TA: 6.32g/L RS: 2.2g/L
