Sydney Bring A Bottle Wines

The Single Vineyard Stevens Shiraz is sourced from the Stevens Glen Oak Vineyard, which is located on Marrowbone Road, Pokolbin. The vineyard features red clay soils and is dry grown, with an average vine age of 60 years.

In the lead up to the 2023 vintage, there was an abundance of rain in spring which gave great soil moisture heading into the dry months of December and January. The harvest period was relatively stress-free without any adverse conditions such as rain or heat. This vintage has produced well balanced, complex wines with fruit purity and is considered to be an exceptional Hunter Valley vintage.

The grapes were hand harvested on 20 February, when the fruit was at its coldest before fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine was matured in a single four-year-old French oak cask for nine months, then transferred to puncheons for another five months of maturation.

Bright red in colour with a purple hue. Sweet red fruit aromatics, highlighted with cranberry, velvety tannins coat the palate, with directional dark cherry and a clean, neat finish. One of the more elegant wines of the release, with the most approachability to drink now or within the next five years.
