The Saxenburg Select Shiraz is a masterful wine with incredible terroir drive and is an authentic example of Saxenburg's excellent soils for producing top Shiraz. This high-dollar drop ensnares the nose with an expressive bouquet of cranberry, black pepper, ripe blueberries and a hint of dried herbs. The palate is concentrated and taut with a stunning structure and dense tannins. Well-integrated oak notes round out this special pleasure experience in a wonderful way. A wine that must be given time in the glass to fully develop its beauty and remarkable complexity.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes fermented in open fermentation tanks with regular submersion of the marc and pumping over of the must to ensure optimal extraction of color, tannins and aromas. The wine spent 28 days on the skins and was then pressed into barrel, where it underwent malolactic fermentation and spent three months without the addition of sulfur. After the addition of SO2, the wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels with a capacity of 300 liters per barrel (60% new wood).
