WINEMAKING

60-year-old Shiraz vines, planted on sandy soil. 

Selectively picked in early morning hours at 14° Baume to preserve natural acidity and aromatic compounds. The fruit is gently destemmed and berry sorted. 7-day cold soak at 8°C, slowly fermented for 14 days in small open-top fermenters. Peak fermentation temperatures are held at 18°C with gentle pump overs with air twice daily. 

Aging 36 months in French oak barrels (80% new, 20% neutral). Malolactic fermentation is completed naturally in the barrel. 

Drinking beautifully now through 2045

TASTING NOTE

The Pasha McLaren Vale Shiraz pays homage to the ways of the past. The way we used to do things, "OLD SCHOOL", the Glory Days! When times were simpler.

Bursting with ripe red berries, Aromas of coconut & hints of vanilla. Full-bodied palate structure with a complex mix of flavours, ripe red berries, coconut, chocolate & spice. Great middle palate sweetness with well-integrated oak characters. Long & almost chewy tannins with a well-balanced finish.​
