Adelina Estate Shiraz 2022 is a masterful expression of Clare Valley’s renowned terroir, crafted from vines that are over 100 years old. Grown in ACO certified organic soils composed of red sand, mild clay, slate, and limestone atop a clay base, this Shiraz reflects a unique mineral complexity and pristine purity.
The winemaking process respects tradition and innovation alike: grapes are destemmed with 50% of the berries crushed, followed by fermentation in concrete vats and an extended maceration period of 22 days. The wine then matures for 10 months in 700-liter oak barrels, 22% of which are new, allowing for subtle oak integration that enhances structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit.
This vintage captures the essence of Clare Valley Shiraz at its finest, showcasing deep, rich flavors of blackberry, black pepper, and dark cherry, layered with hints of earth and spice. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, with velvety tannins and a long, expressive finish that speaks to the vineyard’s heritage and meticulous craftsmanship.
Celebrated as one of the region’s most exceptional Shiraz wines, the Adelina Estate Shiraz 2022 offers a sophisticated balance of power and finesse, making it a standout choice for those seeking a premium, organically grown Australian red wine.
