Low alcohol wines for aspirants of fine Shiraz? The underlying strength and success of McWilliam's for generations has been the philosophy that wine is made in the country, cultivated and crafted by people who live and work amongst the vines. The skill of the team is born out by their ingenuity at effecting unique styles which begin within the vineyard and are exactingly handled to the highest standards. Enter Balance, an engaging, low alcohol and low carb wine, brimming with Shiraz plums and spice, elegant fruit and convivial tannins.
McWilliams host a formidable team of winemakers who spend much time on the land working with growers to encourage the maintenance of healthy vines and to engage in sustainable land management. Fruit for this very special Shiraz is picked earlier in the harvest to interdict the development of fruit sugars, thereby achieving a lower level of alcohol in the finished wine. Choice parcels of fruit are chosen on the basis of flavour profiles and tannin level before being harvested throughout the cool of night. Following a gentle destemming, grapes are vinified in static fermenters to maximize freshness and flavour retention, before a light filtration. Alcohol 8.5%
TASTING NOTES
Medium red purple colour. Vibrant aromas of red berries, spices and curls of chocolatey oak. This youthful wine shows juicy berry fruit, plums and red currant. A fresh style with a delicate tannin finish. Enjoy alongside tomato braised cutlets, garlic/rosemary lamb or well seasoned eggplant parmiggiano.
