Their highly acclaimed Shiraz has received numerous awards since its first vintage in 1990. However it's the versatility of this wine, in the way it embraces both power and elegance is that which the winery is most proud of. The 2017 vintage is approachable in its youth or cellar for many years.
High spring rainfall and consistent temperatures throughout the growing season saw higher yields coupled with excellent flavour intensity. Overall, 2017 was an exceptional year.
The 2017 Turkey Flat Shiraz is a result of a very intricate blending process. After each parcel of fruit is individually vinified & aged in specially selected French oak barrels, the final blend is created with careful consideration to upholding its reputation for cellaring gracefully, retaining its freshness and balance for many years. 18 Months matured in new & seasoned French oak hogsheads, 38% of which are new.
