Doran Shiraz 2016 Tasting Notes

Grapes were picked at 24 Balling, combination of Schist and granite soils. Cooled over night to 5̊C, 80% destemmed and 20% crushed whole bunches. It was cold soaked for 4 days, where most of the extraction was done.
Fermentation:Partially natural fermented. Post fermentation maceration of 6-8 weeks.
Maturation:Wine was matured in 500L French oak for 12 months with 10% new oak.
Winemaker's notes:Deep concentration of plums and blackberries with undertones of spice. This is followed by the fresh fragrance of blue violets. Juicy tannins leave your mouth craving for more.
