LIQUEUR SHIRAZ - Port

Dessert Wine

Wine Name:
Liqueur Shiraz - Bronze and Gold Medals

 

From Western Australia comes the only certified organic port style fortified wine. This is unique as it is made with certified organic brandy spirit.

A deep purple red colour, with a palate of rich dark chocolate. This fortified wine is luscious on the palate with a wonderfully long finish. A beautifully balanced dessert wine.

Ripe organic shiraz was crushed, destemmed, and pumped into a open tank. The ferment is started with natural yeasts and continues at 30C until the ferment had proceeded through a few degrees of sugar.

The must is drained and basket pressed, the juice returned to an open fermenter and the ferment continues.  The desired Baume is reached before adding certified brandy spirit (neutral alcoholic spirit) for fortification.

Once the wine has settled it is pumped to oak barriques for cellaring underground for maturation.

When mature the wine was bottled and stoppered using natural cork.

Alcohol - 18 %    pH 3.8 residual sugar - 5+ Baume

Total SO2, less than 100 ppm

Proteins and tartrates may form a "crust" in the bottle.
