Our Reserve wines are an expression of two amazing vineyard sites in McLaren Vale, both special in their own way and enhancing the expression of the variety grown on them.
The Reserve Shiraz comes from Lacey vineyard in the Seaview region in the most north-west hills in the Vale. A 700 million year old base of siltstone, sandstone and limestone with a thin layer of sandy loam and shattered rock fragments on the surface.
This is tough ground and really pushes the vines to produce very small compact bunches with tiny berries, resulting in concentrated fruit flavour and tannin profile.
The vineyard itself is tiny with only about 150 vines capable of producing between 6-800kg of fruit per year. This is enough to fill a new French oak Puncheon (500L) where we leave the wine to mature for 2 years, prior to bottling and cellar ageing for at least another 2 years prior to release.
The Bush Vine Grenache comes from Gowers vineyard in a beautiful stretch of ground North East of McLaren Flat and on the edge of the Blewitt Springs subregion and the foothills that surround McLaren Vale.
These hills are riddled with fault lines and have twice been uplifted to the height of Everest and eroded twice, creating an amazing rubble at the base consisting of rocks from all eons. This rubble has mixed with the soft beach like Blewitt Springs sand to create the perfect environment for Grenache. The sandy rocky soil profile really shines through in the wine, as an elegant yet powerful tannin profile and persistence on the finish.
The fruit is hand-picked from two distinct sites in the same vineyard and fermented with 20% whole bunches under whole berries in small open fermenters. Aged in 2 year old French puncheons for 18 months prior to bottling.
These wines show the power and concentration of Shiraz and Grenache in McLaren Vale, but also that the tannin profile, acidity and structure of these wines can be elegant and intense without being too big and heavy.
