Clarence Hill ‘Reserve’ Shiraz 2018 6 Pack

$390.00

In a winemaker’s journey through the annual vintage, special parcels of fruit are identified—this wine uses two vineyards across the McLaren Vale district. Grapes are allowed to ripen fully before open fermentation with longer extraction.
Part of the wine is pressed a little early to allow partial barrel fermentation in new oak barrels, predominately American oak (~15%) in this wine. The rest of the wine is put to more seasoned oaks and both are matured to fully integrate the wine and oak characters.
After blending and bottling and allowed to mature in bottle until release. We decided to use DIAM cork for this wine to allow wine development with a traditional, yet risk free experience.
