Personalised Murdoch Hill Syrah 2022 13.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

AROMA

A typical cool climate Shiraz with fragrant perfumed red fruits, pepper and spice notes.

PALATE

The palate shows succulent red fruits of raspberries and cherries, a medium smooth bodied wine that is supported well with quality French Oak. The tannins are fine and savory with lingering flavors of red fruits and spice, a gentle but persistent wine.

REGION NOTES

The Murdoch Hill vineyard situated in the cool climate Adelaide Hills near the township of Oakbank, in an undulating valley 420m in elevation. The Cronberry block is a predominately east-facing slope producing Shiraz of more finesse by avoiding the harsh afternoon sun. The soil structure is predominately sandy loam over medium clay subsoil’s, with varying levels of ironstone, quartz and schist rock.

VINTAGE NOTES

2022 vintage, starting with good sub soil moisture from a wet winter, spring experienced regular rain events that dried off in December, poor flowering conditions resulted in very low yields giving excellent concentration. A refresh in January with 42.5mm of rain for the month was welcomed, this was followed by very mild cool conditions in February and March. The cool and slow ripening period has resulted in exceptional acid retention and complex flavour development.

VINIFICATION

The Grapes are hand picked and de-stemmed into open fermenters with varying levels of whole bunches. Gentle pump over’s and plunging used to retain freshness. After a period of extended maceration on skins the wine was then pressed and matured in a combination of new (25% New) and older French oak barriques and puncheons for 10 months before bottling.
