2013 Nova Vita Firebird Shiraz

Description

2013 Nova Vita Firebird Shiraz The 2013 Shiraz is sourced from our two vineyards located in Gumeracha and Forreston (just North of Gumeracha). Grapes were sourced from two blocks – Shed Block Shiraz at Gumeracha which is planted to 4,444 vines per hectare compared with the traditional 1,667 vines per hectare and Shiraz West at our Forreston vineyard. Each year the low-yielding vines are shoot and bunch thinned and then handpicked to encourage flavor retention and color intensity. The 2013 vintage was warm, dry, long and punctuated by a couple of short bursts of warm weather during the ripening period. 2013 Nova Vita Firebird Shiraz, The final wine exhibits a deep red-brick colour with purple hues on the edge. The wine displays red fruits and black pepper aromas on the nose. The palate displays a hint of savouriness, cherries, blackberries, fruit cake and a hint of mocha.

The wine is ready to drink now and will cellar well and reach its full potential in 10 to 15 years.
