Vineyards: This Shiraz is a 50/50 blend of two vineyards. The Rayner Heritage Block located on Kangarilla Road just outside McLaren Flat and the Ledgard vineyard on Little Rd, Whites Valley.
Soils: The Rayner Heritage Block is on Alluvial clay from the Christies Beach Formation from the Pleistocene Era (2.6 million years old). The Ledgard Vineyard has half the block on the same soil type as the Heritage Block, the other half is Grey clay from Ngaltina Formation also from the Pleistocene Era.
Winemaking: Parcels were harvested and fermented separately in static stainless steel fermenters for 9 days on skins before pressing directly to oak. This wine was matured for 10 months is a combination of both French and American hogsheads before blending and bottling.
Nose: This Shiraz has a rich chocolate nose with dark plum fruits.
Palate: The palate is a plush balance of dark red fruit flavours and generous soft mocha oak. Supple tannins give length and generosity.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2030
