2016 vintage was the last vintage of this wine to be bottled under the Graillot labelling. All the fruit is hand harvested and the 2017 was blended from spontaneous 100% whole bunch ferments. This 2017 was raised by Luke Lambert, mostly large format, neutral oak (predominantly Stockinger) and no sulphur used through the ageing. As always, the winemaking is extremely simple. 2017 needs little introduction, so let’s just say that this vintage gave exceptionally pure, balanced fruit, which we think is borne out in the quality of this release.

SHIRAZ + BLENDS 2020 PAR ALIAN GR ENA C H E / S H IRA Z NOTES | Grown in the cooler Blewitt Springs region of McLaren Vale on old beach sand deposits, this is our tribute to the McLaren Vale ‘Burgundies’ of years gone by. A 63/37% Grenache dominant wine delivers more fragrance, flesh and purity, whilst the Shiraz tightens the aromas with spice, black fruits and importantly delivers a drive of mild tannin. 10 months maturation in very old oak. Bottled with minimal sulphur, Vegan friendly.

CABERNET + BLENDS 2009 GEDDES RESERVE PETIT VERDOT CABERNET
EASTENDCELLARS.COM.AU
REGION | McLaren Vale, SA VARIETY | Petit Verdot/Cabernet
NOTES | One of the best vintages for reds due to the long cool ripening seasons allowed a longer than normal hang time on the vine to concentrate flavours and develop further personality. The attributes of this variety are the rich red fruits and violets which run through the palate with elevated acidity that’s softened with time and the aromatic fullness of structure and flavour. It shares so many synergies with Cabernet in producing a delicious drink now and for many years ahead.
