Col McBryde and Jennie Gardner have been farming them organically for years, and the combination of century-old roots, red sandy soils over slate and limestone, and 460 metres of elevation produces a wine pretty unique to this place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFermentation was in concrete with 16 days on skins before 16 months in large-format French oak (25% new). Short maceration, careful handling, the approach is to work with what the site offers rather than push it further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is a Shiraz of real depth and fine structure: concentrated but not heavy, earthy and savoury, with the mineral character that old Clare vine fruit tends to produce. The tannins are dusty and precise, providing grip and drive through a long finish without any roughness. It's clearly built to age, but also rewarding to open now with some air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProbably the pick of the bunch in 2024 and that's aaying something - this is an old vine Shiraz to turn heads!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Very satisfying.
