FARM to TABLE 2020 Shiraz
Strathbogie Ranges, Victoria, Australia
PHILOSOPHY
The Fowles family is very committed to ethical and sustainable viticultural practices, as well as hunting and living off the 800 acre expanse they occupy in this remote region, Matt Fowles launched the Farm to Table range of wines to help promote this deep connection to the land.
VINEYARD
This Shiraz was picked from the estate’s own Upton Run Vineyard and from Tallis Vineyards in Central Victoria.
Vintage Notes: 2020 was a warm vintage with low yields providing excellent fruit quality. Shiraz grapes ripen very quickly in these conditions so it was critical to monitor closely around harvest to ensure we pick at optimal flavor and ripeness.
CELLAR
The grapes were fermented in stainless steel to maintain primary fruit aromas. The wine was matured for 12 months in new French and American oak, to promote vanilla and spice characters in the final blend.
PH 3.6 T/A 6.5 g/L Alc 14.4%
