Wine Summary Image

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

A sublime vintage, with all Great Southern varietals expressing distinct regionality. Cool winter conditions followed by early spring rains ensured a saturated soil profile at the commencement of bud burst. Uniform vine growth resulted until November when the warm dry conditions produced perfect flowering conditions. Temperatures remained warm until March. High pressure systems dominated throughout March and April. Resulting in mild daily temperatures and cold nights. With no sign of rain fruit was left to hang, developing flavour intensity.

W I N E M A K I N G

Machine harvested fruit was destemmed, chilled and transferred to mix of open and closed fermenters for cold soaking. The must was allowed to warm naturally before being inoculated with a cultured yeast strain and fermented on skins with pump overs twice daily throughout. Pressed to tank and racked to French barriques (30% new) for malolactic fermentation and maturation for 17 months, before blending, filtration and bottling.

Expert Reviews

Great Southern shiraz (this wine is from Mount Barker) has a precision and a sense of inevitability about it: the depth and hue of the colour, the freshly picked fruit, the multi-spices, the cracked pepper, the persuasive tannins and the length. - James Halliday

Winery Profile

Plantagenet takes its name not only from its home, but also from its heritage. In 1968 in a stroke of serendipity English migrant Tony Smith, himself a descendent of the Plantagenet's, invested his small inheritance in a farm called Bouverie in Western Australia’s Plantagenet Shire.

He first planted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon followed by Riesling three years later.

The first wines from these young vines were tight and lean and showed the elegant spice and fruit characters for which this area was to become known.
