Information about "Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz 2020"

In the glass, the Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz reveals a deep, rich plum hue, enticing the senses with a remarkably complex bouquet of white pepper, aromatic cedar, fresh mint, and luscious dark fruit notes. These aromas are elegantly complemented by subtle spicy undertones, creating an impressive olfactory experience. On the palate, the wine showcases thrilling complexity as it continues the flavor journey established by the nose, unfolding delightful nuances that are beautifully layered. This Shiraz is an immensely full-bodied and rounded wine, featuring smooth and silky tannins that emerge even at this young age. The finish is marked by lovely fruit characteristics, a well-balanced acidity, and a remarkable length, culminating in a superb tasting experience. A world-class Shiraz that is impeccably balanced!

Treatment in the cellar

Das Traubengut für den Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz wurde mit großer Sorgfalt handgelesen und bei Ankunft in der Kellerei zunächst über Nacht im Kühlraum runtergekühlt. Bei einer geregelten Temperatur von 6-10°C folgte eine vier- bis fünftägige Kaltquellphase auf der Haut, woraufhin der Wein in offenen Stahltanks bei geregelten 25-30°C fermentierte. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 14 Monate lang zu zwei Dritteln in Fässern aus amerikanischer Eiche und der restliche Anteil in älteren Fässern aus französischer Eiche.

Bei der Herstellung dieses Weins werden keine tierischen Produkte verwendet, sondern stattdessen pflanzliche Proteine. Interessanterweise behält er seinen Status bei, ohne seinen Charakter zu beeinträchtigen, und wird deshalb durch das veganfreundliche Verfahren aufgewertet.
