Shay’s Flat vineyard sits in the Landsborough Valley in the western part of the Pyrenees wine region. The vineyard is on an eastern facing ridge and lies in an amphitheatre (350m elevation) with a magnificent vista down the valley. The sub region of the Landsborough Valley is a quintessential Australian setting. With lots of bush/scrub mixed in with the wheat fields, sheep and vineyards. The soil is a mix of red clay with siltstone, quartz and schist mixed throughout.
This wine displays aromas of plums, fresh raspberries, pink pepper and red earth. It has a floral lift and a ferrous iron character. Fruit flavours, texture and tannin all seem to glide seamlessly in the mouth. There are fine tannins that carry the garrigue characteristics of this wine. Joyous!
