Grüner Veltliner: Fresh and zesty but with creamy lemon curd, finger lime, grapefruit, white pepper and nectarine flavours.

Sangiovese: Bright and fresh raspberry, tart cherry, oregano and roast tomato flavours, with hints of dark chocolate.

Shiraz: The 2022 Shining Rock Shiraz is a dark and brooding wine, plush in mouthfeel and deep in both colour and flavour. Flavours of blackberry, cherry, pepper and plum.

Medium-full bodied with a soft, plush mouthfeel and gentle, yet long-lasting, finish.

Further complexity will be gained if cellared correctly for 5+ years

Grüner Veltliner: This Gruner was picked in the chill of the night, then kept on skins without sulphur for approx. 6 hrs to softly extract some flavour and texture from the skins.

The fruit was then softly pressed to a stainless steel tank, where it was initially encouraged to ferment with its own native yeast until we decided to inoculate, so we could finish the ferment strongly and at much lower temperatures.

The wine was then settled, racked and lightly filtered before bottling. No maturation in oak took place with this wine.

Sangiovese: This Sangio was picked in mid-April, then fermented on skins for 3 weeks. Fermentation was in small, open fermenters and regular hand-plunging was employed to extract the colour, flavour and tannins from the skins.

The ferment was then softly basket pressed directly to barrel where it underwent malolactic fermentation and maturation on full lees in young, single-use French oak barrels for 7 months. The wine was then blended into tank and sent direct to bottle.

The result is a fresh and lively Sangiovese that is soft, complex and extremely drinkable while young, yet will reward some ageing.

Shiraz: Six different clones of Shiraz grown on our property went into this wine.

Picked at four different times over the season to obtain the best ripeness for each clone and each block.

Machine picked and destemmed into 1 tonne bins where they were fermented for 15 days. Hand plunged 3 times a day, then basket-pressed when dry, directly to barrel.

Full malolactic fermentation was conducted in barrel and the wines were left to mature in a combination of 1, 2 and 3 yr old French oak barriques for 14 months.

Grüner Veltliner: is highly versatile, pairing well with a variety of cuisines. Our favourite matches are with seafood, Thai, Spicy Indian curries and Vietnamese food.

Sangiovese: Pizza, pasta, charcuterie, Thai beef noodles, duck, steak and bbq ribs.

Shiraz: Beef ragu, wood-fired pizza, roast lamb, vegetarian lasagna
