Plantagenet - Lancaster Shiraz 2017 750ml
"Machine harvested fruit was destemmed, chilled, and transferred to a mix of open and closed fermenters for cold soaking. They must be allowed to warm naturally before being inoculated with a cultured yeast strain and fermented on skins with pump-overs twice daily. Pressed to tank and racked to French barriques (30% new) for malolactic fermentation and maturation for 17 months before blending, filtration and bottling.
Appearance: Deep purple.
Aroma: Blue fruits, mocha and warm exotic spice.
Palate: This wine is dark, brooding and intense with well-integrated, dusty tannins. The palate is powerful and structured, with a warmer Great Southern vintage lending dark cherry, black fruits and clove. It will develop impressively over time." - Plantagenet
