2017 SANGUINE ESTATE D’ORSA HEATHCOTE SHIRAZ

$70 / 2037

70% on skins for 6 days with only 2-3 days fermentation before being pressed to new French oak at 4˚baume for conclusion of fermentation in oak, ultimately spending 18 months in oak (70% new). I’ll run with the belief that over the next 5+ years the oak will cease fire, leaving a medium-bodied shiraz with fruit, oak and tannins in balance. 15% alc.
