Personalised Fallen Giants Serra Range Shiraz 2022 14.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

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

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

Region notes
Fallen Giants is a family owned winery established in 1969 in Halls Gap in the Grampians region of Western Victoria. We farm using organic principles and the estate has been certified organic since 2021. In 2021 Fallen Giants was the recipient of the most important trophy in wine, the Jimmy Waston Trophy for Best Young Red Wine. The Serra Range is the most significant mountain Range in the Grampians, towering over our vineyard protecting us from the harsh weather from the south and west.

Vinification
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 aromatics and spice.
Maturation
French oak age 20% new, 80% 1-3 years. 14 months.

Vintage notes
2022 was a dry low cropping year, resulting in small bunches with loads of intensity.
