by Felixir

$246.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Grown by Tim Sproal of Minim Wines. Three separate wild ferments including 30% whole bunch, and a small portion given two weeks’ carbonic maceration, a heap of fun here.

Loads of flavour sans weight at 12.8% alcohol, bright and fantastically aromatically expressive, with a huge spectrum of bay leaf, thyme and rosemary around forest berries.

If anybody wonders what cool climate Victorian shiraz is meant to taste like, this is your ambassador.
