2021 Syrahmi Once In a Lifetime Shiraz

The fruit for this wine is sourced from Carl Brown’s certified organic Alanbrae vineyard in Colbinabbin. It is produced using 95% whole bunches and fermented with wild yeast in a 4000L concrete vat, with fermentation initiated by a vineyard-derived pied de cuve. As with all Syrahmi Shiraz vintages, carbonic maceration is employed, and the wine remains untouched for the first seven days.After this period, gentle hand and foot plunging is carried out, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured for 28 months in a 2800L seasoned French oak foudre. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered and undergoes a further two and a half years of bottle aging prior to release.
