2021 Ebenezer Shiraz
The 2021 Ebenezer Shiraz fruit was once again sourced from four Hoffmann DV blocks: Dallwitz-DW96 , Becker (Boundary of Ebenezer and Koonunga), David’s and Mickan (watch out for this block, only established in 2016 but already in high demand, outstanding Barossa provenance). Hand-picked and destemmed into one tonne open fermenters. 10-15% of clusters were retained as whole bunch. Skin contact ranged from 12-14 days with an initial 72 hour cold soak. For something different this year half of the ferments were not inoculated and relied on indigenous yeast strains. The indigenous ferments were standouts for this vintage. 25% new French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered in September 2022.
