Print Shiraz is the pinnacle of Mitchelton winemaking. It honours the noble red variety originating in the Rhone Valley. Select parcels of fruit from low-yielding vines on the oldest blocks of the Mitchelton estate are harvested in small batches. All combine to create this finest and most distinctive example of Victorian Shiraz.
“Majestic and regal, the vivacity of the wine is tempered by its lithe and luminous build. A wine that delights upon introduction and deepens into a passion on further acquaintance, it is ever resilient and enduring.”
Print Shiraz is a finely boned wine which balances the power of fruit and a delicacy of structure. It displays intense deep purple and violet hues. Rich aromas of brandied cherries, smokey charcutterrie and Christmas pudding accentuate the opulence of the wine. Extended skin contact for up to 20 days prior to fermentation creates full soft tannins. The wine is matured for 18 months in French oak (50% New & 50% two year old).
Print Shiraz’s distinctive wood-cut print label ‘In Woos Wood’ is a nod to the artisan qualities that have blended together in the crafting of the wine, and a celebration of the winery’s history in supporting the arts in Victoria.
