Dalwhinnie Moonabel Shiraz
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
The 36th release of the Dalwhinnie Shiraz. The colour is a deep red-purple, the bouquet is freshly picked dark red cherries with earthy, savoury notes intertwined with rose petal. The mouth-feel is generous; an explosion of fruit tannins and finely integrated French oak. A classic Dalwhinnie Shiraz which will reward those with a cool dark cellar. A true vintage wine.
“Dalwhinnie seldom misses the target, and certainly didn’t in ’15. This has Rolls Royce power, with no need to flaunt it. Black fruits of all descriptions have a (fruit) sweet edge that is quite delicious, the mouthfeel supple the palate of effortless length, French oak just a cog in the engine.” – James Halliday

“DALWHINNIE ONLY KNOWS HOW TO MAKE GREAT WINES. “- James Halliday
The vineyard is situated on the 37th parallel in the southern hemisphere and the poor and fragile soils from leftover alluvial mining areas in the 1850's are some of the hardest and hungriest you will ever see. However, the climate and soils seem well suited to the production of complex shiraz and this is why we specialise in this great variety.
The site is totally frost-free which enables the grapes to reach optimum ripeness and the vineyard is non-irrigated and operated on strong organic viticultural principles; the fruit is hand-picked, for example, and the vines are cane-pruned by hand. Harvest usually starts the third week in February and is completed around the first week in April. Cover crops are sown every year between the vineyard rows to add nitrogen to the soil.
The average annual rainfall is 550mm with most rain falling between July and November. The Mesa vineyards were planted in 1990 and 1999 on the Moonambel valley floor, 5 kilometres from the Dalwhinnie estate. All the vineyards are owned and managed by Dalwhinnie and are set up to produce exceptional grapes using 100% estate-grown fruit. The climate is 3-4 degrees cooler than Dalwhinnie all year round and the grapes are hand-harvested approximately 3 weeks later than Dalwhinnie.
We call the Mesa wines our 'cafe' range which is made to enjoy now. We hope you enjoy these fresh and textured wines as much as we enjoyed making them. The ‘Mesa’ label was designed by our eldest daughter Guinevere Jones.
