Wine Description
The Story
The Cabernet Sauvignon for Grant Burge’s flagship Shadrach has been sourced entirely from Barossa vineyards, where he believes the conditions are perfect for growing super-premium Cabernet Sauvignon with great finesse, intensity and structure. The fruit for the 2008 Shadrach is sourced from Grant’s Corryton Park vineyard, high in the cool-climate Eden Valley, and blended seamlessly with fruit from the Barossa Valley floor with its concentrated rich fruit flavours.
THE WINEMAKING:
The wine underwent traditional fermentation in open stainless steel static fermenters for eight days, with a portion of fruit left on skins to undergo extended maceration to develop its structure and longevity. The balance underwent primary and malolactic fermentation in French oak, and then matured in new and two year old oak for a further 21 months. It has spent 2 years in bottle before its release.
