Shobbrock Poco Rosso (Shiraz) NV
The Wine
A delightful medium to light-bodied red wine, primarily composed of various aged 'Vine Vale' Shiraz. Whole clusters of Shiraz were immersed in fermenting 'Poolside' juice (a Rosé cuvée), so marrying the vibrancy of youth with the depth of maturity. It's substantial enough to engage the senses, yet charming and relaxed so as not to overwhelm.
No Sulphites added

About the Wine Maker
After 12 years of growing grapes and making wines on our farm in Seppeltsfield things have come to an end. We now have 2 hectares of vines in Flaxman Valley... We will eventually end up with around 5 hectares of vines and a mixed orchard of fruit and nut trees. The Farm sits at 540 meters above the ocean.
The soils are old and acidic consisting of sandy loam over yellow orange clay. The sandy loam profile is scattered with rose quartz while the clay layers have shadows of mica. The wines should be lean and tight, holding fine acidity. This next journey will be an exciting ride. For now, we will continue to make a small amount of wine from some old vineyards in Vine Vale.
