MMAD Vineyard Blewitt Springs Shiraz 2022 Secret-deal-EOFY the bunches pass across aLovely mild ripening conditions gave beautiful balance to the Shiraz. The fruit was hand picked, 80% destemmed, and whole berries and whole bunches were fermented in open vats with gentle extraction. There is old vine concentration, and opulence on the palate, with notes of mulberry, blackberry, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. Generous, layered, and complex, with tannins and savoury notes that keep the fruit in check. Serving Temperature 16 18C
