The 2018 vintage is big, bold, and has an exceptional aging ability. The quality of the grape berries where exceptional as the sugars and juice were well balanced to produce this elegant and bold, attractive wine.

The word Shobi means “Glorious,” which describes this elegant, complex, and well-balanced wine.

about the harvest: Shobi grapes are all picked and sorted by hand in the vineyards to make sure we only use the best quality grape berries.

in the cellar : Handpicked into lug boxes followed by berry sorting, preceded by destemming and gentle crushing directly into stainless steel open top fermentation tanks. The wine underwent a series of gentle punch downs 3-4 times per day.
A selection of only four 100% new French Oak Barrels was chosen for their complexity, aromatics, and fruit compatibility.
This wine spent 30 months in these specially selected barrels before the wine went on for a further 2 years of bottle maturation before release.
