Bark Hut Rd Cabernet Shiraz

The Islander Estate Vineyards Bark Hut Rd Cabernet Shiraz is one of the winery's original releases. It is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Shiraz, all picked and sorted by hand.

Each variety is processed, fermented and matured separately. During fermentation with wild yeasts, the juice is pumped over and manually plunged twice daily.

The wine sees up to six weeks on skins in tank with malolactic fermentation, then is basket pressed. After 18 months ageing in new and seasoned French oak, the best parcels are chosen for the final blend.

Vibrant red, The Islander Estate Vineyards Bark Hut Rd Cabernet Shiraz's dark fruit flavours and firm tannins lead to a crisp edge of natural acidity. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
