Saint Petri Shiraz Carignan

The wine is a blend of two grape varieties from three vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Both the Shiraz and Carignan are from the Calabria Family’s ‘William’ Vineyard in Nuriootpa; soils are sand over clay at approx 280m elevation. These vineyards have moderately low GDD (1650-1800). The Carignan fruit is sourced from two vineyard blocks, one old and one young. The older block is circa 1914 planting and these vines are tagged and hand picked vine by vine. The Shiraz selected for this wine are over fifty years of age and display a dense core of fruit.

With a dense and rich forest fruit core, the wine dances across the palate with flavours of red cherry and boysenberry. The wine finishes with hints of white pepper and refined chewy tannins, creating a silky and seamless palate.
Crafted under the guiding hand of chief winemaker, Emma Norbiato, the fruit is hand picked and sorted to ensure perfect fruit reaches the fermenter. The single vineyard parcels are let to cold soak for 24 hours before undergoing fermentation on skins. The parcels are fermented on skins for up to seven days before being pressed to tank to complete primary fermentation with a small rate of French oak stave. Once complete, the parcels are then racked into both large and small scale oak for wild malolactic fermentation and matured in barrel for nine months. At peak maturity the winemaking team individually select barrels to craft a wonderful blend of Shiraz providing a rich and dark core of fruit and Carignan providing opulence and spice.
Calabria Saint Petri Shiraz Carignan is enjoyable now but will reward with medium term cellaring. Enjoy with sweet spiced beef medallions with roasted vegetables and green beans, or try oven roasted crispy pork belly.
