2021 Grampians 'In shade we won't ever sit' Apassimento Shiraz
Tasting Notes
Style: This is a unique wine from a special site, that can only be created in certain years. 50% fruit that is dried on the vine after the cordon is cut and 50% fruit that stays connected. What follows is a wine that is deep and complex, driven by bright spice and alpine herbs but with deep brooding characters of freshly ground coffee, dark chocolate and medjool dates. This wine is aromatically powerful and mouth filling. Let the bottle breath and watch it change throughout an evening. Winemaking: 100% whole bunch ferment with eight week skin contact Indigenous yeast & malolactic bacteria Aged in 2 old French oak puncheons and 2 second fill French oak barriques.
