A rarity in the United States, our cool climate Shiraz pays homage to winemaker Russell Hearn's native county Australia. This expressive wine has briary red fruit aromas and a hint of oak on the nose. The raspberry and cherry notes flow onto the palate with soft, fine tannins on the finish. Light to medium bodied with a bright acidity leading to a velvety finish with a hint of spice, the 2021 is sure to please!

Production Notes
This wine is comprised of 77% Shiraz, 12% Teroldego and 11% Petit Verdot.
Winemaker Notes
Fermented in open top tanks, the Shiraz juice spent 10-12 days in contact with the grape skins before being pressed, allowing for the bold flavor and rich color. The wine was then transferred to barrel where is aged for 7 months in American oak. 208 cases were made.
Food Pairing Notes
A beautiful wine to sip on its own while also allowing the bold flavors to stand up to a heavier meal. Recommend paired with rich cheeses, chicken, pork, and lamb.
