2022 Reserve Shiraz

Gibson Reserve Shiraz is the result of up to 20 individual Shiraz parcel components, which we assess out of barrel for qualities that show particular finesse and structure - the precursors to age-ability. We don’t limit this expression to individual vineyards, but rather build in many layers of complexity through fruit sources from various sites of the Barossa. One and two tonne open-topped fermenters are used along with other detail-orientated small batch winemaking methods, including hand plunging and basket pressing.

An enticing bouquet of concentrated blackberries and blood plums, enriched by hints of blueberry and delicate violets. Underlying notes of cinnamon and nutmeg add complexity, creating a warm, inviting aroma.  The palate is immediately seductive, showcasing concentrated flavors of blackcurrant and blueberry. Dark chocolate and spice round out the profile, delivering a rich, layered experience. The wine finishes with long, fine, velvety tannins, leaving a lingering impression.

The Reserve Shiraz has 18 months in new and matured French oak hogshead and puncheon formats used for ageing.
