Trutta - Shiraz | Strathfieldsaye Central Victoria

The ultimate fly fishing wine. Chuck it in the river, and enjoy chilled at the end of your day fishing. Grown in Strathfieldsaye, Central Victoria, with the vines being planted on red soils over clay, punctuated with quartz, gravel and sandstone. The vineyard has been managed organically for the last two years. The quality of fruit of this site is fantastic. Whole bunches placed in fermenter, and covered with CO2 for 12 days of carbonic maceration. After this, a gentle pigeage by foot, and allowed to macerate overnight. Pressed into stainless steel, where it was left for the winter. Blended in the spring with a few glugs of Cabernet Franc and Riesling to give a juicy zing. Tastes of cherry, sour raspberry, white strawberry zing. Super light, and fresh, drink it chilled.
