The low yields are the product of 50+-year-old organically dry-grown vines. The fruit is hand-picked at optimum ripeness-flavour, gently crushed, open-fermented and matured in a combination of French Oak and American Oak for 20 months. Deep vibrant purple in colour. Excellent texture and balance, finishing with full satisfying length. This magnificent wine has great cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eGrand Shiraz\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is sourced from a single vineyard in the Western Barossa Valley from the iron stone rich soils. he juice is pumped over daily to extract as much concentrated fruit as possible for a week period before draining and being basket pressed. The skins are then gently pressed for approximately 24 hours. Bottles with minimal fining and filtration. Dark deep red with crimson edge. Exceptionally concentrated, round and voluminous with mouthfuls of pure black fruit. The finish is powerful and quite long and will drink well for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eOdin's Honour\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from vines \u003cstrong\u003edating back to the early 1900’s\u003c\/strong\u003e from what we consider one of the Barossa Valley’s finest blocks. The smooth flow of vintage allowed us to select specific fruit parcels and allowed us to define the wine as much in the vineyard as the winery.

Careful extraction and short post fermentation maceration is followed by soft pressing. Dark crimson red with dark black core. This is a big traditional style of Shiraz, which we recommend is decanted and allowed to breathe prior to consuming.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"viking-wines-grand-shiraz-2003-750ml","title":"2003 Viking Wines Grand Shiraz","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"winery-page__header__description__content winery-page__header__description__content--extended\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLot ID \u003c\/span\u003e14542795\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"winery-page__header__description__content winery-page__header__description__content--extended\"\u003eSold \u0026amp; Priced as a Single Bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"winery-page__header__description__content winery-page__header__description__content--extended\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCork Closure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"winery-page__header__description__content winery-page__header__description__content--extended\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfessionally Cellared\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"winery-page__header__description__content winery-page__header__description__content--extended\"\u003eAlc 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"winery-page__header__description__content winery-page__header__description__content--extended\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAt one stage the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eShiraz fruit was earmarked for Penfolds Grange\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA magnificent 100% Shiraz that offers superb opulent drinking.
