The 2020 Morambro Creek Shiraz (Padthaway) features a deep inky black and purple colour. A perfumed nose greets you with notes of mint, blueberry, vanilla, and spice, complemented by hints of liquorice and white pepper. The palate is wide and smooth, showcasing ripe blue-black fruits and well-balanced oak. Concentrated and with a long finish, this is a must-try for wine enthusiasts.
“Our family vineyard is located in the picturesque and historic terra rossa soils, environmentally friendly viticulture, low yield Padthaway valley, 300km south of Adelaide. Our rich, fertile terra rossa soils, environmentally friendly viticulture, low yield, and exceptional fruit and is how we consistently produce outstanding wines. Small parcels of the highest quality fruit are selected from our family vineyard and handcrafted to create wines with amazing depth of flavour, style and balance...” – David Bryson
Winemaking at Morambro Creek is very traditional and labour intensive. Oak maturation takes place using 35% new barrels both French and American. This blend was put together using select barrels from our family estate that best demonstrate the intensity of our fruit balanced by integrated oak.
2020 was a very good season with predominantly mild, dry days. Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent parcels of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and fruit-derived characters that we strive for in our wines. Winemaker notes
