The fruit for the Springflat comes from four sites; 60% of which comes from our northern vineyards, 40% from the south at Mia Mia. Dark crimson in colour - if one wine represents a snapshot of the whole vintage, this is it. There are delightful red fruit aromatics of raspberry and strawberries, along with some briary cigar box and undergrowth characters. The palate has a nervous energy of natural acids, with opulent red fruits and forest floor flavours. The Springflat Shiraz engages you from the moment it hits your mouth. Its tannins have a hugely attractive feel to them, and are a defining feature of this wine (and the vintage). They wrap up a very long finish, and will stand up in the cellar for many years. Matured for 22 months in 40% new French and American oak hogsheads." - Winery Notes
