Log in / Sign up Wynns V&A Lane Shiraz 2022
Amongst the patchwork of Wynns vineyards on the famed terra rossa strip, one special area is V&A Lane. A long, straight road surveyed in 1851 which was the old district boundary between the historical electorates of Victoria and Albert. The mature Shiraz vineyards along V&A Lane ripen early and are among the first picked each season. The resulting wines have a modern appeal being fresh and spicy, yet still maintaining the succulent and silky palate structure of a Shiraz that can proudly take its place on the world stage.
V&A Lane Shiraz presents a distinctive take on one of the most cherished grape varietals. Harvested early to emphasize a fresh red fruit spectrum and maintain naturally lower alcohol, this wine benefits from whole bunch inclusion, wild ferments, and maturation in larger oak barrels. These techniques come together to create a beautifully balanced, food-friendly wine.

Roasted strawberry, magnolia flower and fresh pastry notes. The 50% whole bunches retained in ferment enhance the cool climate florals to next level.
Bright cherry and blueberry complement more savoury elements of stalks, pastry, and spice. There is a light yet expansive quality to the palate. The pure fruits flow through to lingering crushed pepper and a biscuity finish. This is an early ripening, early harvested wine. The resulting freshness and brightness with low alcohol and many layers of flavour has become a signature of the V&A Lane wines.
