‘Ancient Earth’ Shiraz 2018
This is super juice! It is a quintessential McLaren Vale Shiraz taken from a selection of some of our best Shiraz parcels.
| Vintage | 2018 |
| Region | MCLAREN VALE |
| Winemaker's Notes | An assembly of excellent parcels sourced from a broad cross-section of McLaren Vale to create a regional expression of Shiraz. In contrast to the Black Bloods that highlight sub-regions, Ancient Earth aims to target the highest quality subregions across the entire area and blend them into a seamless representation of what the Vale does best. |
| Drink | Cellaring is a requirement here – big wines take time. Leave this one to mature for 2-8 years. |
| Bouquet | Blackberry and briar rose laid over tar, thyme, and iron. Violets, vanilla, liquorice, and roast beets. |
| Palate | The structural palate showcases a selection of spice; caraway, cumin, cardamom, and black pepper. Plush, earthy, and unearthly. |
| Food Match | Garlic butter roast portobello mushrooms with polenta, or Herb-crusted top loin beef roast with all the sides. |
| Analysis | TA: 6.6 g/L, pH: 3.55, ALC: 15.1%, RS: <2.5g/L |
