Eligo Shiraz

John Duval

2015

Barossa Valley

Australia

Fermentation with submerged cap in small stainless steel fermenters. Some batches had up to 2 weeks on skins.
OAK MATURATION: 100% barrel matured for 20 months with 55% new fine grain French oak hogsheads (300 litre) and the balance 2 and 3 and 4 year old hogsheads.
TECHNICAL NOTES: Alcohol 14.5%
pH 3.63
TA 6.17 g/l
STYLE: My aim with Eligo is to produce a structured but elegant expression of Barossa Shiraz. A wine with restrained power, rich texture and palate length. Eligo is a vineyard selection of the best, low yielding parcels of exceptional fruit that I find during the vintage.
VINTAGE: The 2015 vintage started with a warmer than usual spring followed by early, but even, flowering and fruit-set. Frost, particularly in the Northern Barossa reduced yields however the conditions during fruit ripening were pleasingly mild and dry with rain in mid-January brining some welcome relief. Shiraz was first picked in the Krondorf area on 12 February and finished on 17 March in Eden Valley
