Pure Vision Organic Shiraz Cabernet

Awards GOLD - 2020 International Organic Wine Awards Vineyard The Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used for this wine were grown on our certified organic vineyard with 26 year old vines. 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 magnificent wine. 

Winemaking Our Shiraz grapes were harvested late February and our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested early March, both in the early hours of the morning. The grapes were transported to the winery, crushed and destemmed to an open-top fermenter. The must was inoculated and allowed to ferment between 25-30 degrees celsius until dry. The cap was pumped over and splashed twice daily for each variety, allowing plenty of air into the ferment for a minimum of 7 days. Once primary ferment was completed, the must was bag pressed, the wines were combined (60/40) and then racked to new French oak barrels for 20 months.

Tasting Notes Our 2018 Organic Shiraz Cabernet is an elegant and sophisticated blend of 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, displaying complex dark berry, red current and spice aromas. This classic Australian blend has been aged in new French oak barrels for 20 months. The well-defined oak, tannin profile and cassis fruit result in a silky, smooth, decadently rich palate with a long, seamless finish. Excellent cellaring potential for 10-15 years.
