16 Stops Shiraz – This deep coloured Shiraz is youthful and vibrant, with a lovely dark fruit and spiced plum character on the nose. The oak supports rather than masks the fruit, which is bright and lively yet plush and fleshy on the palate. The tannins are ripe and silky, giving the wine a texture that is unusual at this price.
The grapes are selected from multiple vineyard sites in South Australia, with much of the blend coming from vineyards around the Willunga district. The vines are mainly planted with a north-south row orientation, primarily with clone 1654. This is the clone widely regarded as producing the best Shiraz in the McLaren Vale region. The vines are mainly hand pruned.
The fruit was machine harvested and taken to the winery in the cool of the night, where it was fermented in stainless steel tanks. No oak was used at any stage to retain the fresh fruit character in the final wine.
The name 16 Stops comes from the number of stops on the railway line from Adelaide to the Vineyard.
