[SOLD-OUT] Ravensworth Shiraz Viognier 2018

WINE FRONT 94+ POINTS! 

'All from the estate vineyards of Ravensworth in Canberra District. Has quickly become a benchmark red wine in the region, I feel. Such a good wine here. Has that feel of pedigree – lots packed into a small space, fine chomp of tannins, raises on fresh acidity, regional flavours of blueberry, pepper and herbs. Fragrant as all get out too. It’s just that little bit skittish at present, feeling like it would benefit from time in decanter or cellar. Still, the fruit sings here and geewhiz it’s lovely." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

"These are Estate-grown wines from Bryan's own vineyard on Patemans Lane in Murrumbateman. Organically managed, 20-year-old vines on a granite base under red clay parna. Loamy-looking but 'distinctly soil', says Bryan. If you know the man, or know enough about him, you will understand the level of care and detail that he puts towards his vineyard, and to his winemaking. The evolution of Ravensworth has been utterly compelling and here we see proof in the pudding. Shiraz 95%, Viognier 5%. A longer process has started for this vintage, after a natural ferment, including 30% whole-bunch (left on-skins for 6 weeks), the wine was pressed to puncheons and left for one year. No additions or encouragement. Unfined and unfiltered." - Imbibo
