Old Vine Eden Valley Ultra Premium Shiraz

History

The Barossa has been producing rich full- bodied Shiraz wines for over a century. Located in the South Eastern corner of the Eden Valley, the vineyards were planted in 1858 and continue to impress us by producing small yet concentrated bunches of premium fruit.

Winemaking

Fermented in upright hogsheads with their heads removed for 10-14 days, hand plunging in the morning and again in the evening (pushing the skins down into the fermenting juice) further imparts the precious colour and flavours in to the developing wine. After fermentation the skins were gently basket pressed for further flavour and colour extraction. The wine was then racked to a mixture of new and three year old French and American oak hogsheads. Every six months the wines were racked to tank and returned to oak, slowly removing deposits and assisting with clarity.
