Crushed & Cured
Lake Breeze, Bull Ant, Shiraz, Langhorne Creek, Australia, 2022
A stunning, cool-climate Shiraz with alluring aromas of plums and chocolate enveloped in a touch of earthy complexity. Rich, full bodied and full of vibrant, black fruits on the palate with a long, soft finish.
Fruit selection was paramount, only the best blocks are retained for the Bull Ant label and often it is only the fruit from the best rows of these blocks. The grapes were fermented on their skins for seven days in small, open fermenters. A daily regime of three rack and returns and pumpovers, ensured the desired level of extraction. Matured in French and American oak for 16 months, with the aim of softening the wine, while retaining primary fruit characters. The wine was not fined or filtered prior to bottling.
