Lou Miranda Estate Old Vine Barossa Valley Shiraz 2014

Making wine has been a passion that has passed through three generations of Miranda’s. We are proud to introduce the family’s premium ‘old vine’ wines. These wines are a reflection of our love and dedication to wine, food and family. 

The grapes for this wine are grown on the Estate vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Single wire trellising, low cropping level and an ideal ripening season allowed the grapes to mature to their optimum ripeness. Oak matured for 26 months. Fermented at 25 - 28c, twice daily rack and returns into open vats increases the oxygen contact during fermentation. Optimum skin contact defines the soft tannins and gives structure on the palate. 

The 2014 vintage provided elegant wines with structure and balance. The superb flavours and tannins are approachable now, but will benefit from cellaring if desired. This wine can be enjoyed with chargrilled ribeye, or aged cheddar cheeses. 

Lou Miranda Estate Old Vine Barossa Valley Grenache 2015

The fruit is carefully selected and hand-picked from Old Barossa Valley vines, and typify the generous varietal characters of the Barossa. Only small open fermenters and gentle handling of the fruit are used to process the grapes to ensure quality from vine to bottle. The best seasoned oak is used to preserve primary fruit flavour. A small portion is un-oaked to enhance vibrancy.

Lou Miranda Estate 100 Year Old Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache 2014

Amazingly, our Lou Miranda Estate Old Vine Shiraz/Grenache blend is sourced from our over 100 year old Barossa Valley estate vines (called centenarian vines). The fruit is carefully selected and hand-picked, and the old vine Shiraz typifies the generous varietal characters of the Barossa. The Grenache adds perfume and complexity while smoothing out traditional chewy Barossa tannins. Only small open fermenters and gentle handling of the fruit are used to process the grapes to ensure quality from vine to bottle. 50% new medium toasted American oak is used on the Shiraz portion.
