Windy Peak shiraz 2013

Region
Victoria
Appearance
Bright crimson with purple hues.
Bouquet
Fragrant lifted blueberry, plums and brambly fruits, licorice, and dark chocolate aromas.
Palate
Rich full fruit palate with fine integrated tannins and subtle oak interplay.
Vintage Conditions
A warm dry growing season and balanced crops from all fruit source areas resulted in a finely textured, richly flavored blend.
Winemaking
Fruit sourced from carefully selected parcels identified from a number of Victorian regions including both the King Valley and the cooler-climate influence of the Yarra Valley. Harvesting takes place over the range of 12.5 – 14.0 Baumé to achieve a balance of fruit freshness, fine structure with ripe juicy texture, generosity, and immediate drinkability. Grapes are destemmed and crushed into static fermenters. The resultant must is then fermented for up to 2 weeks prior to pressing and racking to barrel.
