Tasting Notes:
Soft supple Victorian Shiraz, dangerously moreish by the glass. Bright, aromatic and juicy on the nose with just a touch of naughty bacon fat and white pepper. True to the varietal. This vintage is our brightest, most dangerously drinkable Shiraz to date due to its fine, bright fruit and soft silky elegance.
About the wine:
The Shiraz is sourced from ancient Victorian soils in order to achieve a wine with greater finesse, purity and structure as well as typical eucalypt flavours and saline finish associated with the area. Picked at night and crushed within an hour of picking before being sent to the fermentation tanks. The Shiraz grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled tanks maintained at 22 - 25ºC to avoid extracting any harsh tannins, with the fermentations pumped over to extract good colour. 20% of the final blend is barrel aged.
About the producer:
The Listening Station Wines are named in honour of the few small listening and tracking stations throughout Western Australia used in the 1960's space race to keep continuous communication possible with the astronauts as they orbited the planet.
Food match:
Drink with Moroccan lamb tagine, roast vegetables and hard cheeses.
This wine is suitable for vegetarians and vegans
