Redfin Shiraz 2008

Producer

Redfin was created by Liberty Wines, working with winemaker Tim James, with the specific aim of producing wines from Australia that
once again generated excitement at this price level. Australia achieved its number one position by over-delivering on quality, but in
recent years an emphasis on promotion seems to have become more important than quality.

Vineyards

The grapes are all sourced from selected vineyards in South Australia, with 60% of the fruit coming from the McLaren Vale with the remaining
40% coming from Riverland.

Vintage Information

The 2008 vintage began with early bud burst and ideal growing conditions, and intense flavour development was achieved early in
the growing season. Grapes harvested early in the season produced wines of exceptional depth and structure.

Vinification

The grapes were 100% de-stemmed and crushed and cold macerated on the skins for 3 days at 12ºC to extract primary fruit flavour
compounds. Maceration on the skins continued for a further 7 days to extract colour and tannin. Oak maturation took place using 100%
French oak for 14 months.

Tasting Notes

Deep, bright purple in colour with aromas of concentrated dark berries and a touch of mulberry, vanilla and cinnamon spice from the oak.
On the palate this wine is youthful and intense with generous juicy plum and dark berry fruit. The tannins are ripe.
