Sourced from the best blocks of our Estate that display dense, rich, classic McLaren Vale Shiraz profiles. The Shiraz that is selectively picked for the White Chalk was planted in 1998 and is clone 1654. After good winter rainfall, Spring was warm and dry with a hot summer. Milder weather arrived in late February, providing for slow sugar integration and flavour development prior to harvest. Small batch ferments of our best Shiraz blocks from our McLaren Vale Estate give us the option to select the best barrels to highlight the best Shiraz from the vintage. Each parcel experienced a 4-5 day cold soak with 14-21 days on skins prior to basket pressing to oak barriques and hogsheads. 20 months in new and seasoned French and American oak barriques and hogsheads. (approximately 25% new oak). Read More
