Vintage Notes

Growing Season

The 2021 vintage conditions for Gaelic Cemetery Vineyards were cool and dry producing average yields for all varieties including Shiraz. An even budburst through spring and good fruit set were an ideal start to the growing season. Dry conditions continued over the summer period with a very hot and windy day on January 24 causing some vine stress. Despite these challenges, the Shiraz maintained good varietal character and balanced ripening.

Winemaking

The Shiraz for this wine was harvested on February 25th and 26th, 2021. The grapes were machine picked in the cool early morning, then transported to the winery where they were destemmed into small open-top fermenters. After a 72-hour cold soak, fermentation began naturally with indigenous yeasts. The ferments were carefully managed with gentle pump-overs to extract color and flavor while maintaining elegance. After 12-14 days on skins, the wine was pressed and transferred to a selection of new and used French oak barrels for 18 months of maturation. The final wine showcases excellent color and richness at moderate alcohol levels, typical of the 2021 vintage.
