Freshness of fruit is abundant on the palate filling your mouth with our classic coonawarra palate weight which leaves you wanting more. This is an excellent example Coonawarra Shiraz - it is a medium bodied wine, abundant plummy fruit characters and balanced by fresh Shiraz spicy fruit. The wine spent 18 months in American oak barriques. The use of American oak enhances the mouth feel and supports the fine tannin structure adding length to the palate. This is a wine that will equally suit drinking with a meal or enjoy it by itself.
The growing season for 2021 started with very mild conditions during spring followed by a dry summer. The grapes were small and had thick skins. The mild stable conditions continued throughout the ripening period leading to an extended vintage. Optimal flavour development occurred slowly. A hallmark of this vintage is fresh acidity well balanced with good fruit and tannin profiles.
