Shearers Cut
Members Only Shiraz 2024
‘Shearer’s Cut’ is made from grapes hand-harvested by our members at ‘Shearing the Vines’ – annual vintage event.
Cornucopia Farm is located in Blewitt Springs, has sandy & alluvial loam soil. The site is verdant, with a previous life as an orchard a reflection of its suitability for agriculture. The key is to keep things in balance, and being a wetter and cooler site than our other vineyards reduces the need to water and a later harvest date. It also means it produces wine with a unique flavour and structure, a true expression of its terroir.
Winemaker's Notes
The blend is a perfectly balanced expression of what Cornucopia Farm does best – bright fruit elegance. As always the wine is made in the Vineyard and the bunches selected by our Shearers have made all the difference.
Bouquet & Palate
Fruity charcuterie, plummy blackcurrant, and crushed fresh sage, share the stage with thyme, blood, palm sugar, and pomegranate. Lively and spry with a background whisker of earthy depth, and very well integrated, fine French oak.
Food Match
Tender cuts of beef and game, rocket roast-walnut and baby spinach salad with loads of olive oil.
