Quoin Rock Shiraz 2015

“Chunky, bold and big!” Very expressive of this variety in perfect balance, expressing characters of jasmine, pepper-spice, melba-toast and sweet vanilla, with beautiful oak and tannin integration.

This wine will complement beef, lamb and rich venison dishes, however, on its own it expresses all the characters of Shiraz that lovers of this variety really enjoy.

in the vineyard : Our Shiraz vines grow against the lower north-facing slopes of Simonsberg in well-drained Hutton and Clovelly soils. Here, the vines are tempered by the cool southwestern winds which allow the grapes to develop complex flavours with lots of fruit.

in the cellar : Each grape parcel was crushed and fermented in open-top stainless-steel tanks with regular punch-downs (4-5 times daily), followed by extended skin maceration. After fermentation, the wine was racked into a combination of 56% new 1st-fill French oak barrels and 44% 2nd- and 3rd-fill French oak barrels (225L), where it matured for 20 months.
