Intense black purple in colour, Sashiko Shiraz 2018 has intense chocolate and smoky aromas. Sashiko is made gently with minimal winemaking intervention. Grapes were fermented in small two-tonne open fermenters. It is smooth and supple with red cherry and redcurrant flavours with good finesse and elegance. After fermentation the grapes were pressed in a small vertical basket press then the wine kept in a mix of oak for 11 months with 20% new American hogsheads and 80% French and American barrels.
