Grosset Rockwood Wild Shiraz
Made without crushing the shiraz berries or the addition of yeast, the grapes were allowed to commence ferment spontaneously. Bottled without fining or time in oak, this is a truly wild ferment wine made with the minimum of intervention, the success of this approach most likely due at least in part, to biodynamics.
Restrained mulberry, black cherry, bramble notes, supple, fleshy texture yet quite tight and very fine. It is very smooth in the mid-palate yet with a firmness that gives restraint without detracting. This Grosset Shiraz flows effortlessly on to a finish that is long and subtle. Wild and absolutely delicious.
This wine will benefit from decanting to better develop and integrate flavours and aromas.

The A-Grade Certified Organic and Biodynamic Vineyards and Winery (ACO) status means that Grosset Wines meets strict standards set by ACO (Australian Certified Organics). These standards can be a far cry from ‘an organic approach’ or ‘following organic principles’ – claims which tend to be self-determined and unconfirmed.
They believe that certification is just the beginning…by improving plant and insect diversity and complexity, the vineyard is literally, ‘coming to life’. This makes the vineyards not only a joy to work in or visit, but the pristine nature of the fruit means unimpeded expression of variety and place: put more simply, better wine!
