2021 Black Chook Shiraz

THE REGION
The Black Chook Shiraz is sourced from the premium grape growing region of McLaren Vale, South Australia. A Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters makes this region well suited to growing high quality Shiraz grapes.

WINEMAKING
The Shiraz grapes were co-fermented with a small amount of viognier which adds a vibrant perfumed aroma, stabilizes the deep, rich colour and gives the wine fine, supple tannins. Each vineyard parcel was vinified and matured separately and oak was selected to best suit and express the nuances of each vineyard block. The final wine was blended after 12 months of oak maturation.

THE WINE
Bright aromas of red cherry, berries and lifted floral notes with hints of vanilla and mocha. Generously loaded with red fruits, the palate is balanced by fine supple tannins and lingering spice notes. A soft, round Shiraz with great fruit length, generosity and drinkability.
