$118.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Plum and spice aromas lead onto a full-bodied, yet softly textured palate. Savoury black pepper notes combine with oak-derived vanillin notes, finishing with chewy tannins.

Crafted from our best Shiraz parcels coming from vineyard blocks 51, 23, 19 & 16. All fruit was de-stemmed, the must then cold soaked on skins for 4 days prior to ferment. The must was then allowed to warm and inoculated with a Shiraz specific yeast for fermentation.

Post ferment, the parcels drained and gently pressed off skins, then transferred directly to oak for 12 months maturation, a combination of 225 and 300L French oak barrels. Post maturation, barrels were racked and blended, lightly fined and then filtered for bottling.

Description

Established in 1995, Cumulus Vineyards is located in Boomey approximately 40 kilometres north-west of Orange. Sprawled over rolling hills in the Orange GI wine region, our 508-hectare property is one of the largest single-estate vineyards in Australia.

The newly illustrated wrap label includes an embellished circus ticket with serrated edges honouring the history of the travelling circus in the region and surrounding areas. Climbing wines exhibit intense flavours courtesy of lower yielding vines set on ancient soils, extremely cool nights and carefully nurtured viticulture.

About Orange
Set on ancient soil 600 metres above sea-level, our hometown of Orange is the largest and highest cool-climate winemaking region in Australia. The cooler mornings at our high-altitude estate create ideal growing conditions resulting in intense, fruit forward wines.

In addition to having an excellent winemaking climate, Orange is a beautiful town with wonderful architecture and a rich history. Although it sometimes appears to be a quiet country town, Orange comes to life in April when it hosts Orange F.O.O.D Week and in October for the Orange Wine Festival. These events attract people from all over Australia who visit Orange to sample some of the best local wines and produce that the region has to offer.
