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 very dry winter and spring, coupled with record heat and dry conditions throughout summer led to an early and condensed vintage. The conditions lent themselves to smaller berries with good concentration of flavour.
“I made it black and silky in new American oak and it’s got that long velvety finish true Shiraz lovers lust after.” – Walter Clappis, Winemaker
This wine is made using certified biodynamic and organic vineyards and winemaking practices.
