 Mclaren Vale enjoys sandy loam soils and maritime climatic conditions which combine to produce fruit of exceptional quality. The area is perhaps best known for its Shiraz grape which ripens so perfectly under these conditions. The 2000 vintage will be remembered for its low summer rains that led to reduced yields but very high quality fruit. After pressing, the wine fermented in a mix of both French and American oak for 15 months before bottling. The resultant wine has a wonderful purple colour, strong aroma, and is well structured with a long firm finish. |
