Wolf Blass Maker's Project Shiraz Partial Whole Berry Fermentation 2020
Langhorne Creek, South Australia, AustraliaFrom Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale, a portion of the fruit is destemmed but not crushed, undergoing a partial whole berry fermentation before aging largely in stainless steel. That whole berry fermentation brings out juicy blackberry fruit, backed by black pepper and dried florals. It's lively and medium-bodied, with hard tannins that stunt the finish. Chill slightly and enjoy with simple grilled fare.Tasted: 10 April 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:CDN | $20.00 | 750ml | select private retailers and some government monopolies |
