Dileab Shiraz 2019

The Dileab Story
Dileab, meaning heritage in Celtic, pays homage to our roots
which are steeped in agriculture and in more recent times, the
careful art of tending to vineyards and the making of fine wine.

Tasting Notes
Aroma
Rich and opulent with powerful, brooding aromas of dark plum
and mulberry, with hints of cedar and enticing spice.

Palate
A full bodied and eminently balance example of McLaren Vale
Shiraz. A rich palate of blackberry, cassis and liquorice intertwine
with fine grained, elegant tannins and a long, moreish finish.
While drinking beautifully now, this wine will age gracefully and
reward the patient connoisseur.

Vineyards
Selected from the very best McLaren Vale shiraz blocks in
Haselgrove’s portfolio. The wines for this blend are selected
from various microclimatic sites around McLaren Vale to craft a
wine that is rich, structured and powerful. The wine is a true
expression of the region and the excellence in winemaking that
Haselgrove strives for.

Winemaking

Destemmed as whole berries to open fermenters and
cold soaked for 3 days under inert gas cover. Fermented at 22 28 degrees and plunged 3 times daily with a gentle pumpover during peak ferment. Left on skins for 8 days before pressing directly to new and 1 year old French oak Hogsheads. Carefully matured for 18 months, after which time the very best barrels from each batch are selected and from these barrels the final Dileab blend is produced.
