{"product_id":"tim-adams-the-aberfeldy-shiraz","title":"2020 Tim Adams ‘The Aberfeldy’ Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aberfeldy Shiraz is our flagship wine and our biggest tribute to our district as one of the greatest Shiraz regions in the country. Once referred to as “Clare Valley’s Grange”, the Aberfeldy label is a commitment to quality and a very special wine that has been in our portfolio since Tim established his own brand in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage 2020 is the 29th release of the Aberfeldy and it is another classic release of this iconic label. It has a vibrant deep ruby red hue with aromas of ripe berries, black cherry, plum and chocolate complemented by clove, nutmeg and vanilla oak derived spicy characters. It is full bodied on the palate with dark berry conserve flavours and firm tannins generated from the warm, dry growing season leading in to vintage, with a precise balance between sweet fruit and spicy oak flavours and power and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is elegant enough to enjoy now, yet also has the structure to be kept for up to 25 years in good conditions. We recommend decanting, allowing at least one hour prior to serving for maximum enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__winemaking_notes additional_row\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"heading\"\u003eWinemaking Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponents of the final blend were fermented to dryness on skins and left for 14 days before being pressed, with a portion of pressings returned to the wine for added structure and to improve ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was aged for 24 months in a mixture of new and seasoned American and French oak hogsheads before carefully blending, fining and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__growing_conditions additional_row\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"heading\"\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 vintage was warm and dry resulting in smaller crops and more concentrated flavours on the berries.
