Thomson Estate Clare Valley Pinot Shiraz 2018 (12 x 750mL) Clare Valley, SA

Description:

This unique blend of Shiraz and Pinot Noir was selected our Clare Valley vineyard. The Shiraz was chosen exclusively to blend with our distinctive Pinot Noir that was picked for this premium blend.

A combination of whole bunch Pinot Noir and destemmed Shiraz was co-fermented to achieve tannin extraction. After ten days of careful monitoring, with gentle to medium pressing the wine was transferred to a selection of both new and seasoned oak hogsheads for 18 months.

The 2018 vintage conditions were long and slow with low rainfall and above average ambient temperatures. This dry period continued right though the growing season resulting in perfect finishing conditions.

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Experienced wine exporters, vignerons and domestic wine sellers. The Byrne difference is quality focused, innovative and estate grown wines from grape to glass.

Celebrating 60 years and 4 generations, the Byrne family range of wines express our dedication to sustainability and land regeneration practices, with our ethos to minimise harm and maximise benefits to the environment.

From the banks of the Murray River in which our vineyard grows, our prized estate wines reflect the love that goes into our land, delivering richness and complexity into each glass.

It all began almost half a century ago when the first vines were planted in a spot handpicked for its stony soils over the limestone base. Combine that with the warm embrace of a dry climate and generous sunshine, and you have the perfect recipe for grape varieties bursting with flavour and resilience.
