2023 Ironbank Shiraz
STYLE
A textural Shiraz blend with added Pinot Noir to give a silky mouth feel. The Shiraz gives rich dark berry aromas while the Pinot Noir adds a touch spice on the nose. The dark fruit flavours and ripe fruit tannins make this an exceptionally well balanced, full bodied and textural wine.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Hand-picked, then destemmed into open-top fermenters the fruit is cold soaked for about four days to extract colour and fine aromas. Once fermenting, each small ferment batch was plunged twice daily. After a sixteen day fermentation the free-run wine is then pumped to oak and the skins traditionally basket pressed.
15 months of ageing in a mixture of new and old French oak has created a complex wine with excellent ageing ability. Drinking beautifully now, however cellaring will reward those with patience to wait.
Vineyard Notes
A text-book vintage with cool and dry conditions which allowed us to keep the fruit on the vines for longer to give greater complexity and flavour.
The Pinot and most of the Shiraz is sourced from our home block vineyards at Longwood, with a small portion of additional Shiraz coming from vineyards near Woodside which consistently produce outstanding fruit.
