Blue Pyrenees Estate Section One Shiraz 2019

Shiraz produces Australia’s most notable dry red wines. The variety is very successful on sites that allow the vine to attain flavour ripeness whilst retaining balanced levels of sugar, tannin and acid. Blue Pyrenees Estate Vineyard is one such site.

The vineyards 45 year old vines from Section One consistently deliver intense varietal and regional characters that best express the terroir of their Estate. This section of vines provides the core of this wine. The grapes are co-fermented to dryness in open and closed fermenters, before gentle pressing to extract all the colour, flavour and natural tannin from the skins. After pressing the wine is settled then racked to barrels, new American and old French and American oak barriques for secondary fermentation & 18 months maturation before final barrel selection and blending.
