2022 Neldner Vineyard Shiraz

$150.00

Warning, this wine needs air to really show its true form!

The 2022 version is quite closed to begin with but with some time in the glass or preferably a decanter (or a long rest in the cellar) it is sublime. Same same but different to its predecessors.

Handpicked grapes from an 80-year-old contoured Shiraz vineyard in Seppeltsfield, Barossa Valley. Picked in the cool of the morning, 18% whole bunch with the rest whole berries destemmed into open fermenters, cold soaked before natural fermentation slowly occurring as it warmed. A long cool ferment spread over 9-10 days retaining all the lovely structure and flavour before being basket pressed into 30% new American Puncheons (500lts) with the rest seasoned USA and French where it underwent natural Malolactic fermentation.

The wine remainded in this same oak for 18 months before bottling with out fining or filtration to preserve the true character of the site.
