The lead into the 2021 vintage was a brilliant vintage at Wirrega Vineyard, with good crop levels of gorgeous, varietal and complex fruit. The fruit from the 2021 ‘Sfera’ Shiraz was harvested from our most southerly block (Block 1). Machine harvested at night to retain freshness, before haulage to the winery. For us ‘oxygen’ is a bad word while in the winery. Vinified in stainless fermenters, plunged twice daily, before pressing off skins on day 5 and transferring to stainless tanks. This ensures we capture the fresh flavours straight from the vineyard and make sure each bottle reflects our unique home. ‘Sfera’ Shiraz has excellent primary fruit intensity, while maintaining the herbaceous-ness and spice that is to be expected from our cooler region. Bold plum and chocolate flavours are met with notes of juniper and black pepper. This wine will reward up to 15 years of cool cellaring. Pair with steak, bold cheeses or a cigar and an open fire.

A moderately warm and early spring brought flowering on earlier than the long term average. Gentle slow ripening from summer months without extreme heat allowed for gradual ripening of tannins while retaining high levels of natural acidity in the fruit. Perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit from the 20121 ‘Sfera’ Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from our Block 5 Cab Sauv. Machine harvested at night to retain freshness, before haulage to the winery. For us ‘oxygen’ is a bad word while in the winery. Only small amounts of gentle pumping over was needed for the 2021 year as the colour and tannin were already present from the vineyard. Pressing of skins took place on day 6 and the wine was transferred to stainless tanks. The 2021 Cabernet has hints of spearmint, dark chocolate and classic cigar box. Gliding tannin’s will see this wine sit in the tomb for many years to come. Pair with smelly cheeses or another bottle.

Tasting Note: This Pinot is a medium bodied, elegant example of what the cool climate of the Mount Gambier region can produce. The aroma has a dark cherry and raspberry lift with a touch of cedar. The palate is savoury and elegant, with subtle oak, fine tannin structure and hint of earthy spice on the finish. Winemaker’s Note: Grown in the limestone gravel soils of Mount Gambier, a region rich in volacnic history and home to the mysterious Blue Lake. Sourced from two blocks then cold soaked prior to fermentation. It spent 18 days on skins and then transferred to oak for 16 months, 10% new French. Vintage Note: 2022 was a strong vintage, with stable conditions and harvest starting a little later than recent years. This extended the growing season with a long and slow ripening period. The resultant wines are concentrated and intense with great fruit flavours and fine ripe tannins.

St Hugo Cabernet Shiraz displays a dark ruby red with purple hues. The bouquet of dark forest fruits such as plum, blueberry and cassis lead into a beautifully complex palate of blackcurrent, sweet plum and chalky tannins. There is a underlying savoury oak hint and a finish of lingering dark chocolate.
