Righteous FG Shiraz
From the highly lorded 2018 vintage our latest FG is ready to step up for release.
Luckily I have a network of mates who own vineyards across the Barossa, which means I get to see some of the best Shiraz there is… in a valley that produces some of the best of the stuff you’ll see in the world. Weather beaten old buggers enduring year after year in tough soils…producing tiny crops of small berries jumping with flavour…intense black fruits, plums, dark chocolate and warm spices. These old blokes are treated with the respect they deserve…hand picked, ‘Rolls Royce’ treatment all the way in the winery for 'FG'…fermented in open vats with twice daily pump-overs before heading to spend some time resting up in a mix of new French (50%) and a bit of older, seasoned gear.
