Handpicked No.1 Victoria Shiraz 750ml

Description 2015 was a near perfect season in Victoria with the right amount of rain and a consistent cool temperature through winter, and a warm spring perfect for flowering. Each parcel of fruit was vinified and matured separately to maintain the integrity of each site and provide optimum choice at blending. The fruit was fermented in temperature-controlled open fermenters and was hand plunged. The wine was matured in Sirugue barrels for their ability to bring out the best in spicy, full-fruited wines and a small selection of other coopers were used for added complexity. The key stage of blending began about nine months into the journey and many hours were spent at the tasting bench seeking a perfect harmony in the many elements that together make a truly great wine. Alcohol: 14.3%
