2006 Barossa Shiraz
Vintage 2006 had a cool dry close leading up to the ripening period. I've sourced fruit from vineyards in Seppeltsfield, Tanunda, Kalimna, and Light Pass to maintain my 'house style' of Barossa Shiraz. This release shows an extra dimension of finesse and structure, with the classic regional characters of Barossa Shiraz to the fore..
A lot of effort is made in getting the oak characters right, and for me, it’s the selection of the right cooper that counts here, and not the amount of oak. Sometimes, less is more... Like the MGS, the wine is made using partial whole bunch fermentation, and aged on lees, in mostly American oak hogsheads.
Price = $32 per bottle, or $350 per case plus freight.
