NINE STONES Barossa Shiraz

ORIGIN

Appellation: BAROSSA VALLEY

Grape Varieties: Shiraz

VINEYARD

The fruit is sourced from the Calabria Family premium vineyard in the Barossa Valley. The vineyard is set across 30 acres which contains old vines that were planted in 1914. The Barossa Valley is situated 50km north-east of Adelaide in South Australia and is one of Australia’s best known wine regions.

WINE-MAKING

After carefully selecting individual parcels in the vineyard the fruit is transported to our crushing facility where it is fermented in stainless steel fermenters for about 7 days. The resulting wine is pressed off skins and completes ferment on oak planks before being matured in a combination of oak barrels and planks for about 9-12 months.

TASTING NOTES

An intensely aromatic wine of plums, black fruit and blue berries, subtle cedary oak complexity evident from barrel maturation. A dense full bodied wine with dark chocolate, plums and black fruit. Chewy ripe tannins frame the palate. Great length and a long satisfying finish.

PARING

Ideal accompaniment to grilled beef rolls stuffed with pine nuts & raisins or Lamb shanks with roasted garden vegetables.

Enjoy now or cellar up to 5 years.
