2023 Krondorf Shiraz
100% Shiraz - Krondorf Vineyard, Barossa Valley. Organically farmed, single block planted in 2014.  Four different shiraz clones personally selected. Soil: Sandy loam over heavy red clay over a calcareous subsoil.  Handpicked. 100% whole bunch indigenous yeast fermentation for 3 weeks.  Basket pressed to French oak Hogsheads and aged for 20 months. No fining or filtration. 14.8% Alc.  Mail Order: $35/bottle.
 
Tasting Notes: Iron/ferrous and carbon slide into dark blackcurrant and blackberry fruits, violets and star anise.  Powerful yet soft, deep and rich, yet elegant, with a lovely flow and balance.   Dark brooding power. Great ageing potential.  This project/planting is rapidly gaining momentum towards the high expectations we have of it.
