Barr-Eden Estate Love Over Gold Shiraz
Barr-Eden Estate Love Over Gold Shiraz
Notes from the producer:
Maturation: Love Over Gold is seasoned in a two year old French Puncheon.
Ageing potential: Love Over Gold possesses a core of ripe and defined fruit with tannins that are coating and very long, it will age effortlessly over 20 to 25 years.
The Love Over Gold was carefully hand picked. It was then diligently hand destemmed with only the very best berries selected. Ten percent whole bunch was included in the ferment with only perfect berries left on the rachis.
The destemmed fruit was transferred into a small open topped fermenter. Gentle pigeage was performed twice daily with the natural ferment progressing at a cool 24 degrees. Once ferment was complete and after 24 days, free run was drained to a 2 year old extra tight grained puncheon.
