2019 Tim Stevens Signature Shiraz

Chief Winemaker Tim Stevens’ Signature wines are made in small batches from select parcels of fruit. They are bigger, bolder and ultimately more modern in style than the Huntington Estate wines. Tim developed the style in his Abercorn days, described by Huon Hooke as “…modern, with deep vivid colours, intense blackberry fruit and new French-oak aromas, bold palate flavours and generally firm tannins”. Shiraz is Tim’s signature variety, and the style is full-bodied, supple and jam-packed with fruit.

Fruit was harvested from Block 1 - the original plantings (50 yr old vines at time of vintage.)

2.42T received 20/02/19. It was cold soaked for 4 days, followed by 4 days fermentation on skins, then pressed off at 1.9 Baumé directly into barrels (30% new American oak) to complete fermentation. The wine matured in barrel for 19 months before bottling in September 2020 at 14.6 Alc by Vol. The Signature wines are showered with TLC in the winery to ensure they perfectly express the fruit.
