Philip Shaw The Idiot Shiraz 2022 Orange – 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION: All grapes were destemmed and hand sorted, taking care to remove any diseased fruit ensuring only the best made it through. Berries were gently split before going into open vats for fermentation. As with all our wines, native yeasts carried out primary fermentation with cap management scheduled daily to ensure the perfect balance of tannins and extraction from the skins. Once dry the wine was pressed from its skins and seeds and racked to oak for maturation. The wine was left to evolve in oak for 12 months before blending for bottling. TASTING NOTES: The idiot is a bright garnet. This cool climate Shiraz is true to its region and variety. It has a fragrant bouquet with bright red fruits leading to a supple, elegant palate. Succulent juicy red berries and spice framed by fine savoury tannins; a wine to be enjoyed on all occasion.
