Type: Medium to Full-Bodied Red (Artisan / Low-Intervention)
Region: Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, South Australia
Grapes: 100% Shiraz (Syrah)
Alcohol ABV: 14%
Aroma: Lifted and deeply aromatic; notes of fresh blackberry, wild boysenberry, graphite, kalamata olive tapenade, and intense white pepper.
Palate: Athletic and lithe with a cool fruit core; features prominent savory spice, whole-bunch stem complexity, and fine, structural "stalky" tannins balanced by clean acidity.
The fruit includes a 22% whole-bunch component to introduce aromatic lift, fine herbal complexity, and structural tannic presence. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in open-top fermenters, using gentle hand-plunging to manage extraction without over-stripping the delicate fruit profile. The wine is basket-pressed and matured entirely in seasoned French oak barrels for several months to soften the structure while ensuring zero heavy, sweet oak flavors mask the wine's place of origin.
Fruit is meticulously sourced from a premium, dry-grown vineyard site in the cooler, northern Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. The vines are planted at an elevation of roughly 205 to 210 meters on an East/West aspect to capture uniform sunshine while maintaining natural acidity. The vineyard sits on ancient, highly depleted Maslin Sands over clay, a soil matrix that limits vine vigor and yields small, intensely concentrated berries with remarkable mineral drive.
