Pinot Noir Shiraz

Vibrant purple colour. The nose is loaded with bright notes of mulberry, peppery spice and other assorted summer berries. On the palate, there are intense red berry fruit flavours and a juicy texture, finished off with fresh acid and powdery tannins. Ready to drink and enjoy now but should develop with interest over the next few years. Our take on the re-emerging Pinot Noir / Shiraz blend, this wine is an equal blend of these varieties from our Red Hill vineyard. The varieties were destemmed into separate stainless-steel vats together with a small number of whole bunches. Fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts and lasted 14–16 days. The maturation period was nine months in an old French oak barriques, where the wine underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The wine was blended then bottled without fining and with minimal SO2.
