Singlefile Wines Shiraz “Frankland River” 2020 (6 Bottles) Denmark, Great Southern

$264.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Frankland River is arguably the premier shiraz growing sub-region of Western Australia and is recognised for its distinctive black fruit and black pepper characters. Shiraz from the Riversdale vineyard, planted in 1997, delivers some of the best Frankland River shiraz with characteristics expected of fine Frankland River fruit.

The winter saw lots of rainfall that continued into spring. Summer was dry and mild with good even temperatures. This provided excellent growing conditions which resulted in high quality juicy, fresh and vibrant shiraz.

After picking and sorting, fermentation took place in open fermenters, and maceration was gentle lasting 18 days with minimal pump-overs. The wine was then aged in low toast French oak barriques for ten months and aged in bottle prior to release.

This wine displays vibrant violet and dark fruit and subtle spicy aromas. The medium bodied palate displays flavours of blackberry, pepper, spice and tobacco with hints of cocoa which persist through to a dry finish. It is a medium bodied style shiraz of power and complexity but with silky tannins and a refined delicacy. A shiraz to be enjoyed with fine foods.

About Singlefile Wines

Singlefile Wines represents our family’s pursuit of excellence. Every wine in our range embodies a drive to craft wines of exceptional quality from Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region.

At Singlefile we strive to excel in every task that comes before us. From rigorously analysing soil composition and climatic variations through to vigour in the winery, Singlefile’s approach to winemaking is nothing short of singular.

Singlefile’s wines are expressions of the unique terroir of the Great Southern wine region, which imparts distinctive attributes to the parcels of fruit that alight in our winery. We hand pick sites that best suit each of our varieties. Invariably, these sites are premium cool-climate settings, boasting supreme conditions to grow grapes of outstanding quality.

Singlefile fruit is treated as naturally as possible, allowing the beauty of the grape to shine in the final wine. In the winery, we also embrace the “less is more” practice, where wines are allowed to develop with minimal intervention.

Singlefile Wines takes its name from the resident geese, who parade gracefully in single file each day at dusk en route to the lake below the vineyards.

The crest on the Singlefile Wines label articulates the family’s international heritage. The springbok is the national animal for South Africa and appears on that country’s coat of arms. The stag is the emblem of County Clare in Ireland, where Patrick was born. Most importantly, the Singlefile moniker represents the drive to craft exceptional Great Southern wines.
