When tasting this Shiraz, generosity of colour and flavour are clear and evident. The vibrant, floral and spicy bouquet brings together both red and black fruits like cherries and plums. The classic McLaren Vale earthiness comes through on the palate, supported by white pepper spice that balances the fruit concentration and the soft yet structured tannins. While young this Shiraz is bright and elegant. With time in the bottle (5—10 years) this wine will soften and develop interesting tertiary characters such as cigar box and leather.
The hero variety of the region, Woodstock Shiraz is sourced from Woodstock Estate and neighbouring vineyards in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. These vines are all on sandy soils which contribute the floral aromatics to Woodstock Shiraz.
An even dryer growing season than the previous vintage produced another below average yield but with luscious ripe fruit character and tannin/flavour intensity seen all round. 'Deep Sands' Shiraz fruit was fermented on skins for a minimum of 5 days, with the fermenting must being pumped over twice daily. Post ferment, the wine was pressed off of skins to be matured in stainless steel tanks, with a minority aged in 2nd and 3rd use oak for up to 12 months.
