SINGLEVINEYARD
New release single-vineyard Shiraz Tempranillo from the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale.
Region: McLaren Vale
Story: The Shiraz and Tempranillo for this wine are from the Lot 94 BSR vineyard which Bec and Richard acquired in mid-2022. This wine is a lovely marriage between rich, plush Shiraz fruits and the aromatic spicy perfume of Tempranillo. The pairing of these varieties delivers generous but approachable wine perfect either for food or just on its own
Vineyard: Grown on the 11,700 years old deep sandy soils of the Lot 94 BSR vineyard located on Blewitt Springs Rd in Blewitt Springs. The Shiraz and Tempranillo on this vineyard grow side by side and are on an east-facing slope. This whole vineyard is dry-grown and was originally planted by Bec’s father Geoff Hardy in the early 1990s.
Harvest Date: Shiraz - 3 April 2023, Tempranillo – 7 March 2023
Winemaking: The two varieties were crushed, destemmed and fermented separately. The grapes spent 8 days on skins during fermentation in small open fermenters before being pressed directly to seasoned French oak hogsheads. Aged 8 months in oak before blending and bottling. Early release to maximise freshness.
Nose: The nose is a fragrant punch of black cherry, raspberry, and savoury spice.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied palate with attractive soft round red berry fruits. These fruit flavours are complimented by lifted spice aromatics and smooth supple tannins. Hints of oak from 8 months maturation in seasoned French oak round out a lovely balanced palate.
