Whistler Atypical Shiraz 2023
Vibrant purple colour, this wine has loads of blueberry and black olive character on the nose. The whole bunch component gives a dried herb character to the wine and adds freshness to the palate. It is particularly generous in red and dark fruit thanks to the the slightly cooler and longer growing season of 2023, making it a great drink on its own, but can also pair well with red meat dishes.
Selected vineyards throughout the Barossa Valley floor, with 15% coming off of G & H block on the Whistler Estate.
A small amount of whole bunch & fermented in both small & medium sized open fermenters using wild yeast. A combination of hand plunging and pump overs allowed for gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. After 13 days on skins the wine was pressed and put to medium and large French oak for 10 months. The wine was blended and bottled with no fining.
Alc/Vol: 13.2%
