Jus Soli Shiraz 2020

Jus Soli Shiraz 2020If you have been offered this wine, you are part of a small group, very invested in the Knowles Brothers Experience. Given our single vineyard, single variety specialty, we are occasionally approached by growers to project batch a portion of their vineyard, to see how their produce stands up in a test of ultimate fruit expression. While picking the 2020 Heath Family Organic Estate Tempranillo, Dave asked us whether we would split our favorite portion

Given our single vineyard, single variety specialty, we are occasionally approached by growers to ‘project batch’ a portion of their vineyard, to see how their produce stands up in a test of ultimate fruit expression.

While picking the 2020 Heath Family Organic Estate Tempranillo, Dave asked us whether we would split our favorite portion of his Shiraz.
It’s a ridge of pink quartz running diagonally across Thelma Block, leaning down yield & producing very intense & flavorsome fruit. We hand select only the perfect bunches from specific vines in many rows.

13 days of maceration including 3 days cold soak picked up incredible blue fruits and colour.

Tasting Notes: Along with that, fine but firm tannin – more than you would expect, which integrated nicely during 14 months in fine grain French oak.

Cellaring: Enjoy till 2032 or longer if you really like your aged wines.

Winemaker: Jono Knowles
