Heartland Directors Cut Shiraz Langhorne Creek 2016 je Flasche 19.95€

Heartland Directors Cut Shiraz Langhorne Creek 2018

Wir erwarten neue Ware.

Tasting Notes:
The dark purple colour is a clear indication of the intensity that awaits in your glass. The nose is inundated with berry compote and a decorative topping of fresh berries. These are accented by whispers of spice. The palate offers juicy plums and chocolate dipped dried fruits. There are hints of oregano and thyme to be sort out. The finish is long and the freshness unmistakable.

Vinification:
The grapes are selected from some of the best Shiraz vineyards in the region. These vineyards are chosen for the consistent intensity and texture of the fruit. The strictest pruning techniques are used. The fruit for Directors’ Cut Shiraz was harvested at night and then crushed to small open top stainless-steel fermenters. After 24 hours of skin contact fermentation was commenced with our Rhône isolate yeast. Following 10 days of cool fermentation on skins and pumped over 3 times daily, the wine was transferred to French and American oak hogsheads for 14 months maturation. In the 2018 vintage we have limited ourselves to 40% new oak to ensure the fruit remained the focus.

2018 Vintage:
Steady winter rainfall and multiple flood events gave us a good storage of moisture and healthy vines leading into the growing season. Higher than average summer temperatures have offered up robust fruit characters that Shiraz loves to present.

Shaw & Smith Pinot Noir 2018 Adelaide Hills

The 2018 vintage has a concentrated core of red berry fruits including raspberries and cherries. It is vibrant and more opulent than other years.

Outstanding quality from a growing season that threatened, at times, to be tricky. After some heat in January. the moderate. dry and sunny months of February and March delivered beautifully balanced fruit. Crop levels were slightly below average, enhancing flavour and intensity.

Pinot Noir is the most temperamental of varieties and remains a challenge for site, season and winemaking - Shaw + Smith has joined the quest albeit in a ‘small batch’ way. First produced experimentally in 2004 and commercially in 2007. Site selection, the right clonal mix, minuscule yields and fastidious vineyard management are essential to success.

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2017

Verkostungsnotiz James Suckling vom 02. Juli 2020:

A cooler vintage has bent this to a peppery and spicy zone with a very fragrant, sappy delivery of bright raspberries, red plums and blackberries. Oak bolsters the spicy direction of the fruit here. The palate has a succulent and mouthwateringly fresh core of red fruit with sleek and long, polished tannins. Red-cherry and plum finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2018

Verkostungsnotiz James Suckling vom 02. Juli 2020:
Very attractive blueberries and dark plums here with earthy and spicy aromas, as well as black pepper. The palate is filled with fleshy fruit and has dark-cherry, cherry-liqueur and dark-chocolate flavors in abundance. Long flavors, plush smooth tannins and certainly a richer iteration of this wine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Style: Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied cool-climate Shiraz, in which balance is more important than power.
The 2018 vintage is defined by balance and effortless flow. It was a great season for Shiraz with generosity, but structure to match.

Season: Outstanding quality from a growing season that threatened, at times, to be tricky. After some heat in January, the moderate, dry and sunny months of February and March delivered beautifully balanced fruit. Crop levels were slightly below average, enhancing flavour and intensity.

Source: From low yielding vines predominantly at Balhannah in the central Adelaide Hills, and from Echunga and Macclesfield to the south.

Vinification: Hand picked and fermented as a combination of whole berries and whole bunches in open fermenters, with gentle plunging and minimal working. Aged in French oak for fourteen months, of which one third was new.

Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay Adelaide Hills 2021

"Ein Knaller in diesem Preissegment mit hervorragender mineralischer Frische"

schreibt der in Australien beheimatete Master of Wine Andrew Caillard. Und zückt die 98 Punkte-Karte. Kein Wunder, verlief die Vegetationsperiode für den Jahrgang 2021, nach einem traumatischen 2020, hervorragend. Die Regenfälle im Winter sorgten für viel Feuchtigkeit im Boden, die sich in einer gesunden Ernte niederschlug. Der Sommer war mild, langsam reifend, mit viel Geschmack. Die ganze Pracht des Jahrgangs 2021 schlage sich in der kristallklaren quarzgrünen Farbe des Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay Adelaide Hills 2021 nieder, schreibt denn auch James Halliday. 97 Punkte kommen von dem wohl bekanntesten australischen Weinkritiker.

James Suckling zum Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay Adelaide Hills 2021 (Oktober 2022):

This is such a beautifully crafted Adelaide Hills chardonnay! Complex, flinty nose with notes of toasted baguette, lime zest, Asian pear and fresh pineapple. I love the underplayed power on the very focused, medium-bodied palate. Fine tannins underline the long and intense wet-stone finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Two Hands Waterfall Block 2019 Shiraz Adelaide

Waterfall Block ist der neueste Zugang zur Single Vineyard Serie und ein einzigartiger und interessanter Weinberg in der Nähe des Adelaide CBD. Waterfall Block ist eine komplexe Steillage, die man gesehen haben muss, um sie zu verstehen: Er hat viele kurze, steile Reihen, die vor dem frühen Morgenlicht vom höchsten Punkt der Mount Lofty Ranges im Hintergrund und vor der sengenden Spätsonne von einem steilen Hang im Norden geschützt sind. Dies ist ein erstaunliches Mikroklima, das es den ertragsarmen Reben ermöglicht, in aller Ruhe zu reifen

Jeo Czerwinski beschreibt den Two Hands Two Hands Waterfall Block 2019 Shiraz Adelaide am 31. August 2021 im Wineadvocate wie folgt:

One of the bigger, more powerful of the Block wines this vintage, the 2019 Waterfall Block Waterfall Gully Road Burnside Shiraz is a full-bodied, velvety, well-behaved beast of a wine. Swirls of mixed berries combine with mocha and dark chocolate, finishing with layers of flavor and texture. While its elevated alcohol (it's listed at 14.9% alcohol) may mean it's not quite as long-lived as some of the other 2019 bottlings, it should still go 10 years easily.

Two Hands Yacca Block 2019 Shiraz Menglers Hill Eden Valley - Barossa

Two Hands Yacca Block 2019 Shiraz Eden Valley - Barossa

Der Yacca Block liegt an der Bergkuppe des Menglers Hill und ist ein Paradebeispiel dafür, welche Rolle die Subregion bei der seriösen Weinherstellung spielt, denn dieser Weinberg ist nur 25 Autominuten von den Western Ranges des Barossa Valley entfernt. Der Boden hier besteht aus einer Mischung aus Quarz und Eisenstein, und die Höhenlage des Weinbergs ermöglicht eine langsame Reifung, die zu einem sehr weichen und eleganten Shiraz führt.

Jeo Czerwinski beschreibt den Two Hands Yacca Block 2019 Shiraz Eden Valley - Barossa am 31 August 2021 im Wineadvocate wie folgt:

The deep, densely colored 2019 Yacca Block Menglers Hill Shiraz starts off with notes of bay leaf and sage, develops luscious dark-fruit notes of blueberries and blackberries, then turns more savory—black olives and licorice—on the finish. It's full-bodied, rich and concentrated yet remains balanced and refreshing on the long finish. One of the more complex and balanced of the Block wines most vintages, it appears to be a pretty consistent vineyard.

Penfolds Grange 2014 BIN 95 Shiraz South Australia

Joe Czerwinski beschreibt den Penfolds Grange 2013 am 04.Oktober 2018 wie folgt:

Rich. concentrated and intense, the 2014 Grange delivers exactly what we've come to expect from this Penfolds icon wine. It's full-bodied, velvety in feel and loaded with plummy fruit, framed in vanilla and cedar. Dense, powerful and tannic, it should prove to be long lived, even by Grange standards. Gago doesn't rate the vintage overall that highly, but he says the selection this year for Grange was a bit more stringent and that production levels were just average. There are still over 1.000 cases for the United States.

Penfolds Grange 2015 BIN 95 Shiraz South Australia

Verkostungsnotiz von Joe Czwerinski vom 08. August 2019:

The nose of the 2015 Grange features the wine's characteristic lifted aromas. joined by pronounced American oak influence and bold blackberry fruit. plus hints of red meat. raspberries. asphalt and vanilla. It's dense and concentrated on the palate. full-bodied yet balanced and firm. with a rich. velvety texture and long. plush finish. Don't expect great complexity at this stage—it's much too young to show much more than the primary fruit and oak elements—but this is a Grange that should easily go three or four decades.

100 Punkte James Suckling für den Penfolds Grange 2015 BIN 95 Shiraz South Australia

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 06. August 2019:

Much anticipated vintage for Grange and it is a powerhouse of concentration and complexity. Aromas of orange and lemon peel to start. then graphite. blackberries. plum paste. black cherries. boundless sweet oak spice. fresh cedar. tar. mahogany. roasted coffee and chocolate - the list goes on. Such complexity. Classic Grange. offering such deep. dark intensity. The palate has immense richness and depth with a super succulent and very long. fleshy. deeply weighted array of dense. velvet-wrapped tannins that run so long. The fruit flavors sit in the blackberry. blood-plum and blueberry zone with succulent. long and assertive structure. carrying through in an utterly seamless mode. The finish is tightly wrenched. in spectacularly powerful style. locking this wine in for a very long haul. Best from 2030.
