'Tusail' - Shiraz

2020 | McLaren Vale | Shiraz

Our link to ancient Celtic beginnings demonstrates a strong connection to the earth and all that it bears. This wine has been named ‘Tusail’, the Celtic word for original and pays homage to one of the first grape varieties planted in Australia. With over 40 years experience in crafting and perfecting Shiraz, we hope you enjoy this limited-edition wine as much as we do..

Tasting Notes:
Deep and alluring, displaying aromas of ripe red fruits, with hints of dried herb and savoury spice.

Generous yet structural, with dark cherry and mulberry flavours, hints of dark chocolate and cedar. A superbly balanced wine with ripe yet supple tannins.

Winemaking: 
De-stemmed into open fermenters as whole berries. Plunged 3 times daily for 12 days, then pressed to finish fermentation and undergo malolactic fermentation in barrel (new & seasoned French oak). Batches are kept separate until blending after 20 months.
