2016 Cranswick Sarus Shiraz

Cranswick Wines

Barossa Valley

This wine shows ripe, black berry fruit flavours with hints of spice. A wine with depth and fullness having cherry plum fruit flavours layered with spicy vanillin oak.


Viticulture

Fruit for this label needs to be of exceptional quality and it is necessary for our Winemakers to select vineyards which will deliver the range of flavours and depth of character required. This specially selected fruit was grown in the moderately warm climate of the Barossa. The fruit was harvested in Mid March to allow time for flavours to develop.


Vinification

Fruit was machined harvested and then crushed into stainless steel red fermenter’s with the skin cap continually irrigated helping to extract maximum colour and tannin. The ferment took place on medium toasted French oak staves helping to integrate soft oak flavours into the resulting wine. The wine was pressed at 2 Be and finished ferment and undertook malolactic fermentation in French and American oak Barriques.


Recommendation

Delicious with Filet Mignon or a char-grilled Rib Eye
