Fidium Shiraz 2023
Deep red with a violet hue. Choc-cherry with a hint of baking spice dominates the nose of this generous and complex Shiraz.
The fruit was selectively harvested in the cool hours of the early morning. Upon arrival
at the winery, the fruit was delicately crushed into static fermenters, with many whole
berries still intact. The must was cold-soaked for 48 hours prior to fermentation and
inoculated with cultured yeast. Pump-overs were performed twice daily for aeration
and to extract colour, flavour and tannins. The wine was pressed once close to dry to
ensure no over-extraction of tannins. After pressing, the wine was racked into French
oak barriques, where it matured gracefully until late August 2024. Individual barrels
were selected by taste for the final blend.

Fidium Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Lifted aromas of plum, dried bay leaf, spices, and cedar oak. Ripe fruit profile, blackcurrant and plum. Tight tannin structure with a long flavoursome finish.

Inoculated with a cultured yeast. Pump overs twice daily for aeration, extraction of colour, flavour, and tannins. A portion of the wine was left on skins post fermentation to soften tannins and build structure. Post pressing the wine was racked to French oak barriques to complete MLF.
