Description
In the heart of Vintage 2021, the Single Block Shiraz comes alive, a testament to the dance between nature and craft. As February dawned, our journey began, with the first pick surprising us on the 19th, mere days after rosé's call. With 20% whole bunches from both A and B blocks, our grapes met the ferment under the shroud of darkness tucked away in its own stainless-steel tank, embracing carbonic maceration, followed by foot stomping (thanks to the my kids), and pump overs…. March brought the final flourish, with more fruit from my families Nitschke Block joining the symphony, wild yeast whispering promises of natural beginnings. Maturation saw a marriage of Hogsheads and Puncheons, 75% seasoned French oak min ling with the boldness of new French Oak barrels. Through the gentle press of the basket, flavours and dreams intertwined, crafting a Shiraz that sings of the soil, the sun, and the soul of our labour. Welcome to the Nitschke Block, where every sip tells a tale of passion and pride.
