Wynns Black Label Old Vines Shiraz 2021
Wynns is privileged to grow Shiraz on many prime locations within Coonawarra. These vineyards have stories to tell and a history of quality. We select the Black Label Shiraz from the oldest of them including the Undoolya vineyard, a rare fragment of the original 1890s fruit colony planting, which was planted in between 1894 and 1987. Wynns ‘Old Vines’ Shiraz is a superb example of Coonawarra’s cool climate style.
Palate - A classic medium-bodied Shiraz palate, fine and silky. Crunchy dark berries with black pepper and some delicate spiced pastry notes. Sleek tannin with lively acidity frames the bright fruit creating a seamless, layered wine, telling of its cool climate home.
Maturation - Matured for 13 months in new and seasoned French oak barrels (13% new).72% in 300L hogsheads, 18% in 225L barriques, 10% in 3000L wooden vats.
Perfect Pairing - Vitello tonnato: Northern Italian styled poached veal with a creamy tuna and lemon sauce, traditionally served cold as an antipasto.
