Lozärn Shiraz 2023

Winemaking

Picked in small crates and kept in the cold room overnight before being processed and sorted the following day. Grapes were fermented on the skins with punch downs 3-4 times a day for 13 days, before it was pressed and racked to the barrels. Matured in 5th fill French barrels for 11 months.

Tasting Notes

The wine displays a deep, rich garnet color and opens with smooth, rich blackberry aromas. The palate offers ripe plum, juicy blueberries, and dark cherry flavors complemented by warm spices, milk chocolate, and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied, it features smooth, supple tannins and a lingering finish that highlights both freshness and depth. Matured for 11 months in French barrels, this Shiraz embodies richness and elegance, approachable now and capable of further aging.
