Amongst the patchwork of Wynns vineyards on the famed terra rossa strip, one special area is V&A Lane. A long, straight road surveyed in 1851 which was the old district boundary between the historical electorates of Victoria and Albert. The mature Shiraz vineyards along V&A Lane ripen early and are among the first picked each season. The resulting wines have a modern appeal being fresh and spicy, yet still maintaining the succulent and silky palate structure of a Shiraz that can proudly take its place on the world stage. The purpose of V&A Lane Shiraz is to showcase a contrasting wine style from one of our most beloved grape varieties. A purposely early harvest to highlight a fresh red fruit spectrum, naturally lower alcohol, whole bunch inclusion, wild ferments, and the use of larger oak for maturation are just some of the techniques employed to make these beautiful food friendly wines.

Palate- A burst of clear cherry and mulberry fruit, gently supported by soft natural acidity. There is amazing intensity in this lower alcohol, early harvested style. Slow-building powdery coating tannin frames the gorgeous bright fruit and controls the shape with a light rein. Ripe but fresh fruit notes with an enjoyable ease in the palate which gives way to remarkable complexity without challenge. A lingering and lightly mossy, stemmy finish harks back to the whole bunch fermentation. Just delicious.

Nose- Pure fresh first pick Cherries, beautifully fresh and bright. A dusting of cinnamon and half-dried roses. The 30% whole bunch provides background perfume to further elevate the florals.

Perfect- Pairing Pork and chive dumplings have a touch of sauerkraut in them for a little extra zip, and special chilli dipping sauce. The ease and joy of sharing a plate of fresh dumplings reflects how this gorgeous wine can kick start a wonderful meal with friends.
