Description
Some of the best Shiraz blocks from vineyards across the Clare Valley were carefully selected to produce our Tim Adams Shiraz, a wine with strong regional and varietal definition. The wine is sophisticated and elegant with a vibrant deep purple hue and aromas and flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant and black plums, all in good harmony with the spice oak flavours and dark chocolate that comes from a maturation in both American and French oak for 24 months. The palate is full but with soft ripe tannins and a great concentration of flavours and length.
This release is perhaps the closest this wine has been to our iconic “Schaefer Shiraz”, with the incorporation of a parcel from our Schaefer vineyards bringing to the wine a fresh lift and a perfumed character unique to the site.
This graceful Clare Shiraz has power and finesse which makes it both approachable now and worthy of keeping for up to 10 years. We make our wines naturally and therefore this wine may form a harmless crystalline deposit, so we recommend decanting prior to serving.
Winemaking Notes
The components of this blend were harvested at the peak of their ripeness and fermented on skins to dryness for 8-10 days before pressing. Some of the pressings were blended back with the free-run for added structure and mouthfeel. The individual batches spent 24 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels and before blending, fining and bottling.
Growing Conditions
The 2022 vintage followed one of the most steady and smooth ripening seasons that we have experienced in a number of years.
Food Pairing
Shiraz makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled steak and other red meat dishes
