Merindoc Sparkling Shiraz- New Vintage
Vintage 2018
Sparkling Shiraz is an Australian Wine classic which perfectly accompanies the Festive Season and all Summer dishes.
Our inaugu Our 2018 Merindoc Sparkling Shiraz is made without compromise
from the finest Shiraz fruit, by the traditional Champagne method, and aged
on lees for 18 months. Intensely deep in colour, full of bright dark berry
aromatics and sumptuously opulent sweet fruit, our Merindoc 2018 Sparkling
Shiraz is the ideal fizz and sets a new benchmark for Heathcote wine styles.
THE VINEYARD
The Merindoc Vineyard Shiraz fruit is from a small amphitheatre shaped block of 7.4 acres nestled in the southern foothills of the Heathcote regions. The single clone PT23 was planted on SO4 and Telecki root stock, on a VSP trellis at a density of 700 vines per acre in 1995. The soils are granitic, ironstone washed through with granite sand over yellow and black cracking clays.
