Fairview Shiraz 2020

Opaque ruby red in the glass. The Nose invites with notes of, blackcurrants, dried cranberry, baking spice a subtle suggestion of earthy wild herbs. The palate has plummy red fruit with hints of spice and a firm finish. Accessible now, but will age well for 5-8 years under good storage conditions.

Grapes from different vineyard sites and regions were fermented separately. All parcels were destalked and lightly crushed before fermentation. Fermentation on the skins for approximately 10 days and then pressed. Malolactic fermentation was completed in oak barrels with a small portion remaining in tank. The wine was racked and sent to barrel for 20 months, aged in a combination of French and American oak, with approximately 20% new wood being used. The components were then selected, blended and bottled.
