100% Shiraz from Brownwood Vineyard in the Coal Valley.
 
The omega Shiraz from this vineyard, as it was tragically grafted to an uninspiring form of Pinot (namely Gris) post the 2025 vintage. Sympathetic winemaking with 100% destemmed fruit fermented in 1.5t open tanks and kept on skins for 4 weeks to allow for gentle tannin extraction. Pressed to a mix of 225L and 500L barrels, predominantly old, for 10 months maturation. Natural primary and malolactic ferments, bottled unfined and unfiltered.
 
Very attractive vivid purple colour. The full spectrum of berries on offer - raspberries, blackberries, mulberries with gentle bramble patch notes underlying. The palate reiterates this theme with the addition subtle spice, savoury black olive and a touch of salinity. Medium bodied with elegant tannins and just enough acidity to keep it fresh and juicy. Shiraz more about perfume, line and energy.
