Basket Pressed Shiraz

Skillogalee Basket Pressed Shiraz is drawn from a low yielding vineyard on the slopes around the Skillogalee Homestead. It lies at 450 metres elevation in the Clare Valley.

The fruit is vinified in open fermenters. Gentle basked pressing creates a fruit driven wine which is then matured in a mix of French and American oak hogsheads. The wine needs no fining prior to bottling.

Deep red, Skillogalee Basket Pressed Shiraz is medium bodied with myriad dark fruit flavours, distinct earthiness and velvety tannins. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
