Yarra Yering New Territories Shiraz Touiga 2023

In their words - 60% SHIRAZ, 20% TOURIGA NAÇIONAL, 20% TINTA CAO

The Shiraz brings an exotic floral fragrance and the juicy expansive fruit palate. Touriga Naçional being naturally high in tannin brings a firm but friendly structure and spice to the blend. Tinta Cão has a violet lifted nose, juicy mulberry fruits with aniseed spice. The wine is fleshy, intriguing with plenty of aniseed spice complexity neatly wrapped in a blanket of tannin, a lick of charry grip on the finish.

Whole berry fermentation was employed with all varieties to encourage the fleshy fruit-full palate. Gentle hand plunging twice daily allows for careful tannin extraction since these are naturally tannic varieties. The individual components spend 9 months in old French oak barriques in our underground cellar before carefully blending and then bottling.
