Angove Vineyard Select Mclaren Vale Shiraz

Winemaking

These grapes are brought into our Vintage House, the oldest part of our winery, and crushed into 70 year old concrete vats where the fermentation is initiated by the indigenous “wild” yeasts found on the grape skins. Careful extraction and short post fermentation maceration is followed by pressing. The resultant wine is transferred
to American oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation is completed before racking and maturation for 9 months in barrels. A careful assemblage and barrel selection is followed by minimal fi ltration and bottling on our BRC accredited line

Testing Nose

Deep inky purple. Morello cherries, bright raspberry and vanillin aromas come to the fore on the nose with the spice from deft oak use underlying the palate of ripe plums and blackberry.
