McLaren Vale Shiraz
McLaren Vale, Fleurieu, South Australia, Australia
See previous notes from 21 weeks and 68 weeks ago. A full bodied McLaren Vale Shiraz Cabernet blend. The unique feature of this wine is how they cut the canes on the vine and allow the grapes to dry out or “raisin “ for 2 weeks before picking. Like an on the vine Amarone treatment.

Feb 4th, 2020Dense Crimson in colour. Aromas of Mint, coconut oak, and dried fruit. On the palate touch of raspberry and pruney flavours. Supple integrated tannins. This winery was an early adopter of organic viticultural principles. Technical Details:
In a form of drying and concentrating the grapes (like Amarone) the vines’ canes are cut and the grapes are allowed to dry and then raisin on the vine itself. After 2 weeks of this process the grapes are hand picked before being guided through a slow fermentation.
