WINEMAKING

The red clay belt running North to Greenock creates an ideal environment to grow Shiraz. The compact soils provide fruit that is juicy, spicy, and concentrated. Stonewell’s hard red-brown soils add another layer of complexity to the wine, with a darker fruit profile. Destemming without crushing, each parcel is fermented in separate batches in open fermenters before basket pressing. Aged in seasoned oak barrels, the wine was moved to a tank in individual components for several months before blending and bottling without fining or filtration.

SENSORY

Opaque core into a deep ruby red rim. Blueberry compote and wood varnish on the nose. Plummy fruit on entry, layered with liquorice and rosemary. Good length with a grip of tannins that helps dry the finish. 

FOOD PAIRING

A big beefy stew pairs perfectly with this Shiraz, adding some subtle spices to elevate the spicy aroma and palate. Stews cooked in wine will help bring out these beautiful flavours.
