Tournon Ladys Lane Vineyard Shiraz 2017
- Grape Shiraz
- Country Australia
- Region Victoria
- ABV 13.5%
- Case size 12/ 75cl
- Producer M. Chapoutier
- Ageing 100% in French oak barrels
- A powerful and generous wine expressing itself with delicacy thanks to a very delicate tannic structure. Intense flavors of ripe fruits and spices combined to a fine acidity – between richness and strength reflecting perfectly the terroir of Heathcote.
The grapes are 100% destemmed. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks. Vat times are long (from 4 to 6 weeks) and a gentle extraction is performed by pumping-over. It aims at obtaining fine and delicate tannins.
Aging 100% in French oak barrels with a low proportion of new oaks (10-15%) for 14 months.
The crop is manually harvested at maturity, avoiding over-maturation.
Appearance: deep ruby color.
Nose: redcurrant, leather, red crushed berries with a hint of toffee, incense, and curry.
Palate: this is a powerful and generous wine expressing itself with delicacy thanks to a very delicate tannic structure. Intense flavors of ripe fruits and spices combined to a fine acidity – a hyphen between richness and strength reflecting perfectly the terroir of Heathcote.

| Winery | The Chapoutier family have long been known as a leading light of the Rhône Valley, but in 1997 Michel Chapoutier expanded their horizons into the New World, specifically the Australian region of Victoria. Initially making wines in conjunction with renowned local wineries such Jasper Hill and Giaconda, in 2009 Chapoutier purchased the Shays Flat and Landsborough Valley estates in the Australian Pyrenees, giving birth to the wholly owned Domaine Tournon. Unsurprisingly the focus is on Shiraz, which under Chapoutier’s skilled hand manages to evoke the minerality and elegance of the Northern Rhône, whilst still expressing the soil and climate of Victoria. Red soil from the Cambrian Period. |
