About the winery

The grapes for this wine are picked from our Seven Acre vineyard which was planted in 1990. It is situated on the Radford Road property at Seppeltsfield just south of Greenock, and as the name proposes is pretty nearly 7 acre of land in size. The vines crop at 1.5 to 2.0 tons every acre and are kept separate to create a solitary domain wine. Similarly as with every one of our grapes they are singled out phenological readiness and flavour at a baume range of 14 to 16º. This baume once in a while delivers a commonly happening high liquor, despite the fact that this will rely on occasional conditions.
The grapes are aged in expansive, shallow open masonary fermenters, pumped over, chilled and squeezed through a basket press. It is then racked into barrels to experience common MLF, keeping the free run and pressings separate to be mixed back together before packaging. The wine is pumped into seasoned American hogsheads with a little rate going into new oak barrels. It is then left to develop for approximately 27 months, and is generally not separated or fined before packaging.

About the Wine

The Shiraz Seven Acre seems more earth-driven, uncovering notes of tar, creosote, creme de cassis, licorice, and an insight of truffles. While firmer and more tannin, savage, and animal-like than its sibling, it possesses extraordinary thickness, influence, and extravagance. Thirteen year old vines trimmed at 1.4 tons of organic product every section of land created under 100 cases.
