TREAD SOFTLY SHIRAZ

Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help to control ripening and vigour.  Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months settling in tank prior to bottling and an early release. 

This lighter bodied Shiraz shows real restraint yet is enormously flavoursome. Nicely rounded with soft tannins and persistent intensity make this a genuine crowd pleaser. Pair it with a cheese platter.
