About The Wine
The cool 2023 season delivered a medium weight and juicy wine with aromatics of dark rose, licorice and tea characters. Underneath, classic western ridge depth is displayed with violet perfume and purple fruit, wrapped around a schistic, rocky core.
Winery
Each block of Shiraz was fermented separately with differing levels of whole bunch according to geology of the soil. Block 23 and Polygon 10 were fermented as 80% and 100%whole bunch, with a total of three weeks on skins before pressing to concrete tulip. Fleshy fruit from Polygon 14 and Block 38 were fermented as 50% and 30% whole bunches, before pressing to large format oak for maturation. All Mataro was de-stemmed and fermented and matured in concrete. All ferments wild.
