Springflat Shiraz is composed from 5 specific vineyard sites across the region. Parcels from our Adairs Lane Vineyard in the south make up 60% of the blend, with the remaining 40% coming from Farmers Picnic, Mt Pleasant, Col Mountain and Spring Plains Vineyards. Up to 50% whole bunches used in 60% of the batches of the 2021. Deep and dark red in colour. An intensely aromatic Springflat with the whole bunches giving a powerful lift of blue and black fruits, liquorice all sorts, nutmeg and tilled earth. The palate is rich yet has a lightness to it. Gripping tannins carry flavours of dark fruit cake, cocoa, sweet spice and charred meats to a long and textural finish. Intensity without heaviness. Matured for 20 months in 40% new French and American oak hogsheads and barriques. Cellaring potential - 15+ years. 15.6% Vol.

Blackberry, graphite and spicy oak drive the nose. Full bodied and full blooded yet maintains a sense of restraint.  An exotic palate of blood plums and blueberries together with bay leaf and dried herbs.
