Winemaking
This single vineyard Shiraz comes from our Eden Valley estate in the rolling hills of Pewsey Vale with an elevation of 550 metres. All fruits were destemmed, not crushed and gently tipped into open top fermenters. The fruits were then held at 10 - 15 degree Celsius for 3 days before allowing to warm and start fermentation. After 10 days on skins and pumped over twice daily, the wines were pressed into 20% new, 80% seasoned French oak hogsheads, where they matured for 15 months.
Winemaker's Notes
The 2021 Estate Shiraz is your classic style Eden Valley Shiraz with beautiful notes of violets, wild berries and cocoa. Through extra time on the vine, this Shiraz developed rich and complex flavours and aromas.
Food Matching
Smoked beef brisket, roasted rack of lamb with crushed potatoes.
The 2021 Vintage shaped up to be a very good year. The first break of the drought since 2020 brought much-needed rainfall throughout winter, perfect for our whites. The longer ripening period resulted in richer, more flavourful whites, with higher acidity levels and great depth of flavour and colour. Reds also benefited from the extra time on the vine, developing complex flavours and aromas.
THE ESTATE
Easy to love, accessible wines with exuberant aromas and a richness of flavour that accentuates the purity of our fruit.
"The Estate range are serious wines that showcase the best of what this region has to offer, featuring Eden Valley's best varieties. Each wine is classic in style, with layers of depth, complexity and concentration." - Angus Wardlaw, Head Winemaker
