Gundog Estate Flintlock Shiraz 2023 x 6

One of our flagship wines, the Flintlock Shiraz is a blend of the best parcels of Hilltops Shiraz to come through the winery doors. The goal is to craft a distinctly regional expression of Shiraz – one that presents on the palate with understated, yet powerful, shapes and tones. For each parcel, a combination of crushed fruit and whole-berries were cold-soaked for 2 days, prior to warm fermentations, which we allowed to initiate naturally, before over-seeding with M2 yeast. Maturation then took place over 16 months in (25% new) French oak puncheons prior to blending.
