Small Victories Shiraz
750mlEDEN VALLEY | VINTAGE 2023
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
The purity of fruit, so typical of Eden Valley, really shows through, heightened by a small whole bunch component with oak playing a secondary role. It’s so tasty I just poured myself a glass!

Winemaking
Season
ample spring rainfall made for happy vines with plenty of water at depth leading into the ripening season. Aside from a hot pinch over Christmas, summer temperatures were mild. The season was late, and mostly dry, allowing for decent hangtime and flavour development.
Winemaking
Craneford fruit forms the base of this wine, fermented with 13% whole bunch. Mengler fruit also had a portion of whole bunch which helps to bring out the lovely primary fruit character of the wine. Fruit spent 7-10 days on skins before pressing and immediate transfer on solids to seasoned French oak.
Maturation
seasoned French oak, 14 months total time, reflective of the season, the wine has taken a little longer to develop than previous vintages
