Description
The Aberfeldy Shiraz is our flagship wine and our biggest tribute to our district as one of the greatest Shiraz regions in the country. Once referred to as “Clare Valley’s Grange”, the Aberfeldy label is a commitment to quality and a very special wine that has been in our portfolio since Tim established his own brand in 1987.
Vintage 2020 is the 29th release of the Aberfeldy and it is another classic release of this iconic label. It has a vibrant deep ruby red hue with aromas of ripe berries, black cherry, plum and chocolate complemented by clove, nutmeg and vanilla oak derived spicy characters. It is full bodied on the palate with dark berry conserve flavours and firm tannins generated from the warm, dry growing season leading in to vintage, with a precise balance between sweet fruit and spicy oak flavours and power and finesse.
It is elegant enough to enjoy now, yet also has the structure to be kept for up to 25 years in good conditions. We recommend decanting, allowing at least one hour prior to serving for maximum enjoyment.
Winemaking Notes
Components of the final blend were fermented to dryness on skins and left for 14 days before being pressed, with a portion of pressings returned to the wine for added structure and to improve ageing potential.
The wine was aged for 24 months in a mixture of new and seasoned American and French oak hogsheads before carefully blending, fining and bottling.
Growing Conditions
The 2020 vintage was warm and dry resulting in smaller crops and more concentrated flavours on the berries. The best Shiraz blocks of the vintage were hand-selected by our team and harvested at perfect maturity.
Food Pairing
The Aberfeldy is best enjoyed with red meat dishes with complementary sauces/gravies.
