The inspiration for the V\u0026amp;A Lane Cabernet Shiraz comes from the Wynns ‘claret story’ that goes back to the 1950s, where wines were made to a style rather than being about exact proportions. For this modern version, the grapes are harvested on the same day and then co-fermented. The purpose of V\u0026amp;A Lane wines is to showcase a contrasting wine style from our two most beloved grape varieties. A purposely early harvest to highlight a fresh red fruit spectrum, naturally lower alcohol, wild ferments, and the use of larger oak for maturation are just some of the techniques employed to make these beautiful food friendly wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - \u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCo-fermentation of the two varieties creates a rich \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eand textured style, with unique tannin structure.
