The AAA\u003cbr\u003e\nShiraz Grenache pays homage to this as only the best grades of wool were graded AAA. The AAA\u003cbr\u003e\nShiraz Grenache is made with organic grapes, a vibrant blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom some special little pockets amongst the Paxton vineyards.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Shiraz was selected from the ‘Gateway’ and ‘Jones Block’ vineyards, renowned for producing\u003cbr\u003e\nsome of the best fruit in the region. These select parcels were blended with complimentary\u003cbr\u003e\nGrenache to create a wine that is engaging to a wide range of drinkers. The AAA is a fantastic\u003cbr\u003e\nwine when young, with potential to get even better in bottle over 10 years plus.\u003cbr\u003e\nIndividual vineyard parcels of Shiraz and Grenache are fermented in a combination of open top\u003cbr\u003e\nand static fermenters. During this process, each parcel is plunged and\/or pumped over twice a\u003cbr\u003e\nday for 14 days, to extract color, flavor and tannin structure. The ferments are pressed to\u003cbr\u003e\nseasoned French oak barriques (225L) and puncheons (500L), where they are nurtured for 9\u003cbr\u003e\nmonths prior to blending and bottling.\u003cbr\u003e\nT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003e\nDark brambly forest fruits intertwined with raw coffee beans, like a trek to the depths of the\u003cbr\u003e\nBalinese mountains. Notes of fresh curry leaves, pine resin, and balsamic notes hint to whole\u003cbr\u003e\nbunches used in the fermentation and completed by a feather-light touch of delicate French\u003cbr\u003e\noak. Shiraz and Grenache together makes for such a dynamic blend and decadent mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\nShiraz bringing the mid palate weight and intensity of fruit flavors, while the spicy saffron\u003cbr\u003e\nliveliness of Grenache pulls everything together for a party on your palate.
