Personalised Fallen Giants Black Range Shiraz 2021 14.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Boysenberry, blackberry and cherry fruits, laced with cocoa, clove and pepper spice.

Palate
Intense red and black cherry fruits dominate the palate, heightened by the growing presence of blue florals and pepper spice. Chewy tannins, subtle oak and fine acidity achieve great length and balance.

Winemakers comments
Our vineyard was planted on the steep Eastern slopes of the Grampians in 1969. It represented part of the second coming of the Victorian wine industry which had seen very little new plantings since the turn of the century. The region had always had a pedigree for great wines with the first vineyards in Grampians being planted at Bests & Seppelt’s, in the early 1860’s. The vineyard was owned by Trevor Mast and Mount Langi Ghiran, before the Drummond Family (Stonier Winery) purchased it in 2013.

Vinification
Hand picked and fermented in 2tn open fermenters. 100% destemmed. Initial pump over for the first few days and then plunged twice daily. Wild ferment, on skins for roughly two weeks.

Vintage notes
2021 was a cool, low cropping year, resulting in small bunches with loads of intensity. The Shiraz was harvested in April post Easter and fermented in open static fermenters, plunged by hand twice a day for lovely colour and tannin extraction. Some whole bunch provides lifted
