No. 89 Shiraz

Philip Shaw Wines No. 89 Shiraz is sourced from the winery's cool climate, high altitude Koomooloo Vineyard in Orange, planted in 1989. The fruit is all harvested and sorted by hand.

The Shiraz is co-fermented with a small percentage of Viognier in open vats. Around 50% of the fruit included as whole bunches to develop interest and texture. Malolactic fermentation follows in the spring.

The wine then matures in one third new French oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling.

Deep red purple, Philip Shaw Wines No. 89 Shiraz is a brooding cool climate wine with alluring fruit flavours, savoury tannins and spicy length. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
