Berton Vineyard, Reserve Shiraz, Barossa, Australia, 2021

The aromas are powerful and complex encapsulating a wealth of ripe black cherries, blackberries with subtle hints of white pepper and spice. The rich and harmonious palate delivers soft flavours of plum and cherry notes, underpinned by toasty oak and velvety chocolate. Silky tannins lead to a long, persistent finish.

Fermentation took place in stainless Ganimede fermenters for eight days between 25 to 28°C. Each parcel was pressed at 0.5 Baumé through a bag press into stainless steel tanks. Each parcel was clarified via centrifuge, and then transferred to new and used French and American oak barrels for approximately 12 months. A barrel selection took place of the best parcels, with blending over several days, ultimately arriving in this rich, spicy and complex blend.
