This Hunter Valley Shiraz is named after Richie’s grandmother, Aziza, who used to make this style of wine in Israel (in the town of Zikhron Ya’akov) in the 1950s
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Shiraz from Pokolbin in Hunter Valley, Australia. The vineyard is of an average age of 30 years old, grown on red clay soils
Taste Profile: The nose explodes with rich notes of plum and blackberry. On the palate, there is a gentle earthiness set against that classic Hunter Valley mid-palate weight. Baking spice flavors play a secondary role on the palate, with slippery tannins offering a gentle, juicy finish. While Kosher, this one is not just for Shabbat!
Winemaking Process: The grapes are hand harvested and destemmed, then fermented spontaneously in stainless-steel tanks with twice-daily pump overs. After 11 days on the skins, the wine is pressed and sent to French oak barrels for 9 months of aging, where it goes through spontaneous malolactic fermentation. From there it is racked back to tank and bottled without fining, filtration, or sulfur. This is nothing but Shiraz.
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
