Varieties

Shiraz (clones 174, 470, Waldron) with a small portion of Viognier (100% whole bunch)

Winemaking & Style

• Natural fermentation in open-top fermenters

• Viognier fermented 100% whole bunch and co-fermented in small amounts

• Aged 9 months on gross lees in seasoned French oak barrels

• Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with minimal sulfur addition and no other additives

Tasting Notes

• Aromas: Fresh raspberry, cracked black pepper, charcuterie, black licorice

• Palate: Medium-bodied, with savory iron and bloody-meat complexity; plush yet relaxed texture; fine, lingering finish with Chinese five spice

• Structure: Subtle stalky tannin and balanced acidity for freshness

Serving Suggestion

Enjoy with char-grilled lamb, game meats, or slow-braised dishes. Best served slightly below room temperature.
