Kurtz Family Wines Boundary Row Shiraz 2021
Colour: Deep purple-red.
Nose: A distinctive regional nose of blackberry, blueberry, red plums and dark chocolate, with complex savoury notes of black olive, fresh coffee and warm spices layered with fine oak aromatics.
Palate: The palate is rich and generous, with juicy dark-berry and plum flavours, complex earthy notes, mocha and spice. A smooth, textural mouthfeel is pulled together with a structural backbone that lengthens the palate with lingering fruit flavours, chocolately tannins and notes of cedary oak.
Vineyard Source: Boundary Row Shiraz was sourced entirely from the Kurtz Family Vineyard in the Light Pass subregion of the Barossa Valley. The vines received minimal or no irrigation and were pruned for low yields to provide vine balance and maximise fruit quality and varietal character.
Vintage Conditions: Relatively good rainfall in Autumn, and again towards the end of Spring, soil moisture was generally at good levels going into Summer. This, along with reasonably cool summer temperatures, meant the vines were healthy; a good number of bunches set, and berry size remained at optimum levels for high quality wine grape production.
Winemaking: Fermented on skins for up to 10 days in small, open fermenters and gently hand-plunged to optimise colour, flavour and tannin extraction. After pressing, the wine was matured in seasoned and new oak for 24 months.
