2021 Mayor's Vineyard Shiraz

Growing Conditions

Some good rain events toward the end of winter and into the start of spring provided a good start to the growing season, with soil profiles observed at maximum moisture levels still at the start of November. Vines put on good strong early growth, with the emergence of inflorescence providing a positive insight of the potential yields

Vineyard

Situated at just over 500m in altitude, the vines of The Mayors Vineyard, in the North East of the Clare Valley provide the fruit for this single vineyard wine. The 54 year old vines were hand harvested and individual blocks kept separate through vinification. The vineyards soils of red loam are dotted with slate and have long produced Shiraz displaying a wonderful balance between savoury aspects and fruit purity.
