Kirrihill Partner Series Shiraz

Kirrihill Partner Series Shiraz

Shiraz is the beacon of Kirrihill; the plush, uniquely elegant Clare Valley style delivers consistent
quality year on year.
TASTING NOTE
The aroma offers generous layers of black currant, peppery spice, slated liquorish and toasted almonds. The rich and dense palate continue with
sweet spice, dark berries and just a hint of vanilla and smoke char. Abundant fine tannins are interwoven with the core of sweet black fruits
and introduces you to the multi-layered flavours

VINIFICATION DETAILS
Selected Shiraz parcels were cold soaked for several days and fermented in small batches for a further 10 days. A long, cool ferment ensured that vibrancy and freshness was maintained. The wine was gently pressed off skins to a selection of new French oak and 2 year old French and American oak puncheons, spending a total of 10 months in barrel.

Founded in 1998 by long-time friends and locals, Sean Edwards and Rob Stanway, the focus at Kirrihill is on the pursuit of growing the best quality fruit possible, whilst managing the vineyards sustainably and respecting the individual sites. The micro-climates within the three small valleys that make up the Clare Valley region provide their winemakers with a diversity of fruit selections to produce expressive wines of purity and intrigue, particularly aromatic Rieslings, which speak profoundly of their place.

Sitting atop the ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch of rare terra rossa soil, their highly prized Schobers Vineyard is one of the most distinguished red wine producing vineyards in Australia. Contour planted on rolling hills at the southern tip of Clare Valley, Schobers Vineyard has consistently produced Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines of great complexity, which are rich in concentration with distinctive Clare Valley character.
