Sheppards Lane Shiraz 2017 (12 x 750mL) Langhorne Creek, SA

Description:

History

The “S” depicted on the front label represents the colours of vibrant and fertile soil found in South Australia’s Langhorne Creek wine region. Famous around the world, South Australia produces superb red wines and our Sheppards Lane Shiraz is no exception.

Region

Langhorne Creek has a cool maritime climate, notably cooler than McLaren Vale and the Barossa. This is due to a wind known as the Lake Doctor coming off Lake Alexandrina travelling across the Antarctic and Southern Ocean to the Langhorne Creek vines.

Soil throughout the region is predominantly deep, alluvial sandy loams, with patches of black, self-mulching clays.

Vintage

The 2017 Langhorne Creek vintage was reasonably long and slow. The season had high winter and spring rainfall, which led to the extended, cool ripening phase. Harvest for reds began nearly a month later than the previous vintage. Fruit quality was excellent, with Shiraz being one of the highlights of the vintage.
