The Hedonist Shiraz

The fruit for the Hedonist Shiraz is predominately estate grown on our organic/biodynamic certified vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. Fruit is also sourced from the Sellicks Foothills, Blewitt Springs and Kangarilla, all from vastly different soil profiles and aspects across the district. The idyllic St Vincent’s Gulf with it’s cooling sea breeze lies just to the West of the valley.

A civilised vintage created a relaxed picking environment and enabled an ideal balance of sugar ripeness, natural acidity and texture in the resulting wines.

Biodynamic – Organic – Vegan friendly.

APPEARANCE
Deep red with purple hues.

NOSE
Aromatic bouquet of red berries, blueberries, liquorice, macadamia and a kick of freshly cracked black pepper.

PALATE
Abundant and layered, displaying a rich tapestry of flavours. Dusty, firm tannins provide a solid structure, creating a framework that supports and enhances the vibrant fruit, resulting in a well-balanced, approachable wine.

AGEING
Maturation took place in 40% seasoned French oak foudre (4,500L) and 300L hogsheads (10% new) for 16 months .

PAIRING
Rich enough to stand up the strongest lamb or any red meat but equally enjoyable as a robust red on its own. Ideal with Italian food.
