Pure Vision Organic Shiraz

Vineyard The Shiraz for this wine was grown on our certified organic vineyard with 26 year old vines. Cover crops such as barley, oats, wheat and broad beans are used on this vineyard as mulch to suppress weeds during the winter. The healthy soil has been maintained without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers or pesticides, a process which releases the natural fruity flavours in the grapes resulting in beautiful wine.  Winemaking Harvested late February 2019 in the early hours of the morning, our Shiraz grapes were transported to the winery to be crushed and destemmed to an open top fermenter. The must was inoculated and allowed to ferment between 25-30 degrees celcius until dry. The cap was pumped over and splashed twice daily allowing plenty of air into the ferment for a minimum of 7 days. Once primary ferment was completed, the must was bag pressed and racked to older French oak until completion of malo. Upon completion, our wine was racked and the acid was adjusted. Our wines are bottled within 12 months to ensure the style retains vibrant primary fruit freshness. Tasting Notes This Shiraz has beautiful aromas of black pepper and dark berries, with spicy plum flavours. A medium bodied red wine that has been aged in older French oak for 9 months, this wine offers soft rounded tannins that lead to a bright, juicy and long satisfying finish.
