Zerella Market Series Work Horse Shiraz 2023

Crimson red in colour, with lifted aromas of spice, red cherry, violets, and subtle dried spring herbs. The palate is round and full-bodied, offering a silky texture and vibrant, focused acidity. A modern style Shiraz with energy and personality, built to drink well now and evolve gracefully over the next decade.

Grapes were hand-picked, sorted, and cold soaked for five days prior to fermentation. The ferment was hand plunged over 20 days before gentle pressing and transfer to hogshead barrels for 18 months' maturation on yeast lees. The wine was blended and bottled with no fining and minimal filtration to maintain purity and texture.
