Stonehorse Shiraz is always a good gauge of what the vintage has been like, with its forwardness of fruit and the uses of older barrels this is a true taste of the vintage. Coming from our estate in the Clare Valley, Machine harvested at night and immediately delivered to the winery where it’s destemed and into the fermenters for the next 7 days. The ferment is pumped over in the morning giving it a good splash and just a gentle pump over in the afternoon. Once pressed off, 3/4 will go into older french oak, with the balance staying in tank.
