2016 SHIRVINGTON MCLAREN VALE SHIRAZ

RRP $32 / 2041

Open-fermented, pressed to French hogsheads and puncheons (45% new) to finish primary fermentation and undergo mlf, 20 months in this oak. As Max Schubert discovered, this integrates the oak and tannins like no other technique – astonishing that more don’t use it. This is richly endowed with sultry black fruits and perfectly balanced after 20 months in oak. 14.5% alc.
