Source: Hand harvested from the home vineyard block planted in 1996
Clone: Mostly PT23 with a few others not identified.
Winemaking Notes: 20% whole bunch in old oak. Open pot fermented with daily hand plunging. After cold-soaking, fermentation starting naturally and was later assisted by the addition of cultured yeasts. Aged for 12-months in well-seasoned French oak barriques.
Reviews: “From the home block, planted in '96; 30% whole bunches. A brilliant crimson purple. Another perfumed, medium-bodied Finestra shiraz. Aromas of red and black fruits, potpourri, star anise and pink peppercorns lead onto the medium-bodied, energetic and very well-balanced palate. The tannins are even and persistent. An excellent effort that will reward at least six to eight years of cellaring.” 96 points. Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
