Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz 2008

Dalwhinnie, located near the small village of Moonambel in the heart of the Pyrenees region of western Victoria, is one of Victoria's oldest family-run vineyards. Dalwhinnie has been growing grapes for nearly 50 years and the 16-hectare vineyard is now fully mature. At 595 metres above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees district vineyards. The vineyard is located in a naturally undulating trough which falls away from the hills, forming an amphitheatre nestled into the ranges. 

Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz is based on predominantly colonial vine stock material: The versatile PT23 clone (derived from Busby stock) and Best’s 1860s Concongella selection. Winemaking comprises controlled temperature vinification in closed fermenters and extended maceration. The wine is matured for 18 months in new (30%) and seasoned French oak barriques. Blackberry pastille, white pepper and garrigue notes with underlying oak and fine, tight, tannins are typical characteristics.

Please note: private cellar wines are sourced from trusted, temperature-stable cellars, but as mature bottles they are sold as seen. No refunds or exchanges for change of mind, personal preference or bottle variation. Australian Consumer Law rights still apply.
