2019 Obsidian Shiraz

This Shiraz is hand crafted, shows the typicity of our great quality vineyards and is nurtured so the purity of the fruit prevails, resulting in a truly remarkable and polished wine. Our oak regime was judicious to showcase Gemtree’s provenance, and the outcome is an elegant and pure Shiraz. The Obsidian is a luxurious wine impeccably integrated and balanced that will reward you with mid – long term cellaring.

Serve with a special meal featuring rich and robust flavours such as slow cooked lamb shoulder or a wild mushroom and chestnut cottage pie.

All fruit is hand harvested then destemmed. The whole berries are fermented on skins for seven days between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius, undergoing gentle cap management to extract pure fruit characters and tannins. Post fermentation the skins are hand dug out of the fermenter and the free run and pressings wines are separated before going straight to oak for maturation where they are racked and returned only once. After maturation the individual barrels are tasted before blending to select only those that truly demonstrate style and quality.
