AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The hero variety of the region, Woodstock Shiraz is sourced from Woodstock Estate and neighbouring vineyards in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. These vines are all on sandy soils which contribute the floral aromatics to Woodstock Shiraz. The ratio between bunches and leaves are closely monitored to ensure vineyard balance, so that each vine can deliver full, ripe flavours to every bunch.

Above average winter and spring rainfall favoured a high quality and fruitful 2017 vintage, with wines from 2017 displaying firm tannins, ample natural acidity and lifted fruit character. Traditional winemaking in small fermenters pumped over twice daily then finished in barrels for up to 18 months. The oak maturation results in softness rather than distinctive oak flavours. Selected American and French oak 300 litre ‘hogsheads’ were used and only about 10% of these were new barrels.

Classic McLaren Vale Chocolate and Mint characters underlie the pure fruit of the Shiraz grape in this wine.
Cool, patient cellaring will allow all the building blocks of flavour to slowly combine in this wine to evolve into a rewarding flavour experience.

Description

To capture the essence of McLaren Vale we strive for absolute quality, beginning in our old vineyards through every phase of winemaking to the wines before you, wherever that may be. The WOODSTOCK wine portfolio includes a range of sparkling wines, fresh aromatic whites, opulent yet finely structured reds and finally, an eclectic selection of after-dinner wines.

he majority of our wines are sourced from WOODSTOCK Estate, which lies between McLaren Flat and Blewitt Springs, east of the town of McLaren Vale. Winemaker Scott Collett’s close proximity and deep understanding of these vineyards over many years maintains strict quality benchmarks of maximum flavour and intensity for which the WOODSTOCK Estate is known.

Although not yet certified organic, our vines are treated with minimal impact sprays and no pesticides. We tend our vine canopies by hand, and if required the vines are leaf plucked or crop thinned to ensure even ripening and good concentration of berry flavours.
