Fowles Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Shiraz 2020

Growing grapes, hunting for our table and raising a farm all help our family to truly understand this land. Inspired by Matt Fowles’ passion for hunting and gathering, our Ladies who Shoot their Lunch wines have been crafted to complement the textures and flavours of wild food. Vibrant in colour, intensely aromatic and fine in texture with pristine fruit flavours.

2020 was a warm vintage with low yields providing excellent fruit quality. The fruit was higher in sugar than previous years and had good concentration of varietal fruit characteristics, showing Strathbogie spice and perfume in the wine.

This wine was fermented using wild yeast, with its slightly unpredictable nature, this builds more complexity in the wine. Matured in various ways over 12 months, there are many components in the blend. Most parcels were matured in older oak using 150-year-old English oak casks, the rest were maintained as fresh fruity parcels in stainless steel.
