Log in / Sign up Zerella Home Block Single Vineyard Shiraz 2018
The “Home Block” vineyard is only a few kilometres from Sellicks Coast and sheltered from the coastal winds on a gentle easterly aspect. Grown on red loams over limestone, this vineyard consistently produces outstanding Shiraz of great fruit concentration.
Handpicked, destemmed with 10% whole bunch clusters. The wine was cold soaked at 8ºC for 5 days before being allowed to warm naturally for fermentation. A long slow fermentation for 15 days occurred on skins before being pressed off to 65% new French oak barrels. Matured for 18 months on lees before being racked to blend and bottled without finings and filtration.
Sausages, kebabs and hearty vegetables that have a nice char from the grill, as well as smoky barbecued meats
Deep crimson in colour, with perfumed red cherry spice and plum fruit aromas
A fresh and vibrant medium to full bodied palate is full of flavour and intensity, finishing long with well assimilated oak. This delicious wine will reward medium to long term cellaring.
