Penny's Hill Cracking Black McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 (Australia)
Description
Loaded with plum and dark berry fruits this spicy McLaren Vale Shiraz is layered with mocha, savoury spice, licorice and finely integrated oak. A well defined palate, great depth, and delicate tannins guide the fruit for exceptional length and character.
The historic 'Ingleburne' homestead marks the spot for Penny's Hill Estate located at the heart of McLaren Vale. Since 1988, the family owned winery has sourced fruit from its estate-grown vineyards and is renowned for producing exceptional wines from premium vineyards.
Our Maplas Roady Vineyard, established in 1991 on land known as the 'Bay of Biscay', produces high-quality Shiraz with the help of our careful vineyard management. The grey-black soil, prone to cracking, improves grape quality by reducing superfluous roots and naturally controlling vigour. We also source fruit from the more elevated Penny's Hill vineyard at McMurtrie Road East, producing exceptional Shiraz with more fragrance and a finer tannin profile.
To highlight the diverse terroir across our vineyard sites, we harvest, ferment and mature each parcel of Shiraz separately. Harvest commenced on the 21st of March and the last site was picked on the 4th of April. Each parcel was cold-soaked for 48 hours and then fermented on skins for ten days. The wines were then filled into French oak barriques and matured separately for 14 months before being blended and ready for bottling.
