Fechner Vineyard Shiraz

CRFT Wines Fechner Vineyard Shiraz is handpicked from the Fechner Vineyard, planted in 1999 at Moculta in the northern Eden Valley.

The Fechner Vineyard is one of the region's few east facing sites. Its aspect offers cooler daytime temperatures which, combined with high altitudes and cool valley winds, produce optimum growing conditions for Shiraz.

The fruit is destemmed into an open tank where it ferments with a small whole bunch inclusion. The juice is gently hand plunged 2-3 times daily.

The wine is pressed directly to French oak barrels, one third new, to finish primary fermentation and mature for 10 months. At bottling there is no fining or filtration.

Deep crimson, CRFT Wines Fechner Vineyard Shiraz is full bodied with velvety dark fruit flavours, warm spices and earthy tannins. Cellaring potential is 15 years.
