2019 Shiraz

Harcourt North

A brisk hilltop vineyard that produces vibrant, incredibly textured wines.

Organic farming practices, minimal intervention winemaking.

Fermented as 100% whole bunches.

Vineyard:
The fruit comes from a vineyard in Harcourt North, Central Victoria. Harcourt is a cooler pocket located in the Bendigo wine region, and this vineyard sits up high above the Harcourt Valley on a granitic outcrop. The vineyard is approx 500m ASL and is the highest (and probably coolest) vineyard in the Bendigo GI. The vineyard soils are composed of granitic slabs and boulders, interspersed with sandy decomposed granite. The vineyard being atop a windy hill means disease pressure is super low, and organic farming practices are utilised.

Grown with care by Carolen and Bernie.

Mike Bennie review:

"Shiraz, elevated. This is such a great drink each year. Real pleasure. Real quality. Real good. Younger gen winemaker knocking it out of the park. Six all the way.

Gosh, this is just so yum. Slosh of dark berry, ripe plum, loaded with regional white pepper, but just so, and flickers of fennel and sweet earth too. A sheath of lacy tannins shapes the brooding slurpy feel of the palate. There’s cola-sarsaparilla in the mix too. Character and complexity with high, high drinkability. Unreal. 94 Points."

We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people as the traditional custodians of the land on which these grapes were grown.
