A beautifully deep and flavoursome blend with notes of wild berries, dark cherries and a hint of spicy pepper. A tight palate structure reveals more of the same, but with the addition of some lovely, cedary oak and some fine, dusty tannins, resulting in a medium weight, well-balanced wine.
The grapes for this Shiraz were picked and crushed during the cool of night, thus ensuring the retention of varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout, all of which help to create the signature Wildflower style. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a dense, rich colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction. Softer tannins are also a result of this process, an important feature of our Shiraz.. This wine was aged on French oak for approximately 8 months, giving the wine a noticeable, but not an excessive oak influence and resulting in a beautifully balanced wine.
2018 is a very good year for quality; the season was warm and dry and we were kept on our toes as once we started picking everything ripened up pretty quickly. Intense flavours came in late this year and we held off picking to allow maximum flavour . The whites are all fruit forward, with lovely fresh acidity whilst the reds have excellent colour and flavour to match. This vintage is a beauty and subsequently we have made some cracking wines in 2018.
