Vinteloper Shiraz is a wine produced by Vinteloper Wines, a boutique winery located in the Adelaide Hills wine region of South Australia. The region is known for its cool climate, which produces wines with vibrant acidity and elegant flavors. Vinteloper Wines is a producer that prides itself on crafting small-batch, premium wines using sustainable and minimal intervention practices.
The grapes used to produce Vinteloper Shiraz are sourced from select vineyards located in the Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek wine regions. These vineyards are known for their low-yielding vines, which produce high-quality grapes that are handpicked at the peak of ripeness.
The wine is aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which adds depth and complexity to the final product. This Shiraz offers aromas of dark fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry, with a hint of vanilla and oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a rich, velvety texture and flavors of ripe blackberry, plum, and a subtle hint of spice.
The tannins are well-structured, providing a long, smooth finish with a touch of acidity. This wine is complex and well-balanced, showcasing the quality of the fruit and the skill of the winemaker.
