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

This wine has gnarly grumpiness. It is obviously a wine from vines, which have their feet deep in tough ground.Profound garnet purple color, the 2008 Seven Acre Shiraz uncovers maintained notes of blackberry and dark cherry jelly with a few blueberries, figs, spice box, espresso and cedar. Fresh, full and rich, it has firm fine-grained tannins with a long coffee and dark chocolate bound completion.
