Shingleback The Davey Estate Shiraz, McLaren Vale

Hand-crafted wine made in small open and static fermenters to maximise the potential of each small parcel of fruit. Maturation for an average of 14 months in fine grained American and French oak hogsheads softens, enhances and integrates the fruit and structural components of the wine. Luscious aromas of ripe strawberry and blackberry are highlighted by nuances of chocolate, violet and a wet slate minerality. The mid-palate is tightly defined by silky tannins and fresh acidity and enhanced with a shot of espresso-like American and French oak.
