De Bortoli Windy Peak Shiraz 2021 (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.

Heathcote experienced an ideal growing and ripening season for 2021 vintage, mild weather in spring and a warm dry summer. The upshot was rich ripe shiraz fruit in which produced this wine.

The grapes were monitored until the depth of flavour and tannin ripeness were the style required for this wine. The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed into fermentation vats for fermentation over the next 7-10 days at 25˚C to extract maximum flavour and colour. The wine was then maturation for 3 months with a combination of American and French oak.
