Annie's Lane Shiraz is a quietly spoken triumph of viticulture. The fortuitous mesoclimes produce solidly structured yet elegant red wines of great character and charm. Following crushing and de stemming, harvests of Shiraz are treated to a combination of open, static and rotary fermenters, some parcels complete their ferments in oak, the balance are treated to an extended maceration on skins for up to twenty days. The use of different styles of fermentation contribute to the overall complexity, further enhanced by a year's maturation in a combination of French and American oak barrels, some parcels remain unwooded to preserve a measure of fresh varietal fruit.
