PALATE Concentration, freshness of flavour and marked natural acidity.
GRAPES/BLEND 100% Shiraz.
VINIFICATION Sourced exclusively from Block 15 (1.8 Ha), which lies amongst a north facing gravelly ironstone outcrop where the North Maslin Sand geology comes to the surface. Hand-picked (29th March), 25% whole bunches and the remainder has been destemmed, mechanical berry sorted and crushed. Open fermenters and on skins for 16 days. A gentle maceration principle of wetting the cap and only draining and returning when reductive. Wild yeast ferment. No pressings are used in this wine. Kept on lees in 35% new French oak puncheons, 65% older French oak Puncheons for 9 months. We selected individual barrels which were blended and further matured for 7 months in a 2-year-old French 25hL foudre.
VINTAGE NOTES The 2019 growing season was very dry, which resulted in moderately low yields. We had a relatively warm lead up to the ripening period, which produced a very condensed and fast harvest.
RANGE NOTES The name Ironheart speaks to the reddish ironstone gravel soil and represents the most eloquent expression of Shiraz from our unique estate.
