Pertaringa Over the Top Shiraz 2023
Region: McLaren Vale
Story: Why settle for ordinary when you could go Over the Top? From the vineyard to the winery, we've pulled out all the stops for this wine.
Vineyard: Sourced from two vineyards; The Price's Gateway vineyard on the west side of Victor Harbor Road planted in 1970 and the Warraminga Park is located on Kays Road Blewitt Springs. Warraminga is situated next door to the Upper Tintara Vineyard, which was the first vineyard Thomas Hardy owned in McLaren Vale. These vines were planted in 1960 and cuttings are Upper Tintara Ancestry.
Soils: The Gateway vineyard soils are siltstone and rocky and originate 650 million years ago from Reynella Siltstone. Warraminga is sandy loam which would have been sand dunes originating from the Holocene (11,700yrs)
Harvest Date: 29 February (Gateway Vineyard), 7 March (Warraminga)
Winemaking: Both parcels were kept separate and made in small batch open fermenters for 9 days on skins. Pressed directly to oak for completion of MLF, followed by maturation for 15 months in both new and aged French oak puncheons and hogsheads. No fining and minimal filtration.
Nose: The nose is elegant and complex with aromas of cherries and plums with spicy notes of pepper and cloves, complemented by toasty oak.
Palate: The palate is rich and concentrated with notes of raspberries, cherries, liquorice root, and spice with well-integrated oak, followed by velvety tannins and a long finish.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2034
