De Bortoli Windy Peak Shiraz 2017 (Heathcote)

The right variety in the right place is a tried and true path to wine selection. Windy Peak matches the best varieties with the most suitable regions of Victoria and creates everyday wines in classic styles that pair brilliantly with food.

The 2017 growing season was long, cool weather, terrific fruit intensity and concentration.

Fruit for Windy Peak Shiraz 2017 was sourced from carefully selected parcels of Shiraz grown on the red volcanic soils of Northern Heathcote. Fruit is harvested at 14.0-15.0 Baume to achieve a balance of fruit ripeness and soft acidity. Grapes are destemmed and crushed into both static and rotary fermenters. The resultant wine is then fermented for up to two weeks on skins prior to pressing and racking. A third of the blend is matured for 5 months in older casks and the remainder stays in tank for freshness and brightness.
