Warner Vineyard "THE REST" Shiraz

Offered by Warner Vineyard

VINTAGE 2014

The cold start to the 2014 vintage resulted in a slightly later than usual harvest, allowing the development of complex flavours balanced with ripeness. Taking carefully selected fruit from each of our shiraz vineyards indigenous yeasts were used on two parcels of fruit. As usual the fruit from our main shiraz block was divided between whole bunch (75%) and destemmed (25%) with the fruit from our second block fully destemmed. The resultant wine is close to 50:50 whole-bunch:destemmed. After twice daily pump over/aerations before tapering off to irregular punch downs this wine was pressed to a combination of new and aged French oak. Whilst in barrel MLF was undertaken and the wine was left on full lees for approx. 14 months before racking and bottling, unfiltered and unfined.
