Tasting note
Plum-filled Shiraz from Victoria, south-east Australia, that fills the nostrils with cinnamon, black pepper and spice.
Viticulture
In the Strathbogie Ranges, Fowles Wine farms vines in sandy loam soils born from granite boulders. Low nutrients and poor water retention naturally restrict yields, producing fruit of intensity. Cool climate, gentle slopes and summer sun ensure slow ripening, while hand-tended vines deliver balanced, expressive wines.
Vinification
Fermented in sweep-arm fermenters to maximise colour and flavour. Wine was fermented around 24C in stainless steel tanks to preserve primary fruit flavours. Matured using new and old French and American oak.
Food Match
Wild game, especially venison or mutton.
