50 Year Old Vines Shiraz 2023 – in Gift Box

1 x 750ml 50 Year Old Vines Shiraz 2023 including gift box and optional personalised note (mark “gift” at checkout) WINEMAKING From select Shiraz vineyards planted over 50 years ago. The grapes are handpicked, destemmed but not crushed, and they spend seven days on their skins in open fermenters with hand-plunging twice daily to more gently extract colour, flavours and tannins. This is followed by careful basket pressing and malolactic fermentation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak before 18 months maturation in our cellars. VINEYARD The grapes for this wine come from an estate vineyard in the Vine Vale parish of the Barossa on deep sand over clay. These low-yielding “Barossa Old Vines” were planted before 1965 and are now fully mature. They have a root structure and trunk thickness that encourage diversity of flavour and character. Their worthiness has been proven over many vintages, consistently producing the highest quality fruit. TASTING NOTES Medium to deep crimson/purple. Powerfully intense aniseed, blackberry, mulberry and blueberry fruit aromas, with ginger, mint notes. Vigorous and fleshy with generous blueberry, blackberry flavours, excellent mid-palate richness and plentiful brambly chocolatey tannins.
