Ascension Shiraz 2023

COLOUR

Brilliant violet-red with a lighter ruby hue.

NOSE

Lifted aromas of ripe raspberries and baking spices.

PALATE

An elegant wine with flavours of raspberries and redcurrants balanced with nutmeg, baking spices, and vanilla. Chalky tannins give this wine a persistent  finish.

FOOD PAIRING

Indian pepper chicken curry, served with naan and mint chutney.

WINEMAKING

The fruit was destemmed into static fermenters, with the whole berries partially undergoing some carbonic
maceration during fermentation. The wines were pumped over twice daily. Part of the wine was fermented to dryness on the skins and pressed after ten days to help maintain fruit vibrancy. The wine completed MLF in barrel and matured for nine months in 30% new French barriques.
