Miss Zilm - Skilly Hills Clare Valley Shiraz 2022
Daniels vineyard – Skilly Hills. 2022 was a beautifully mild growing season. Long Summer days, well-timed rains and even temperature variations, the resulting fruit shows benchmark purity of flavour, colour and varietal style.
We hand-picked the fruit from the Skilly Hills vineyard before transferring it to the winery for fermentation in 2T open fermenters with about 5% whole bunch. The ferment was gently hand plunged three times a day before being pressed to mature French oak hogsheads (10% new) for 16 months maturation.
Tasting Notes
A fresh and medium bodied wine that shows all the hallmarks of a modern Clare Valley Shiraz. Plush and juicy with fine integrated tannins. There is a strong core of red fruits including cranberry and cherries, which is supported by subtle spice and liquorice.
