Summary: Crimson Monster creates monstrously rich and full-bodied wines sourced from low-yielding, established vineyards located in some of South Australia’s finest regions such as McLaren Vale and Coonawarra.
Thick gnarled old vines produce tiny berries of incredible intensity that is harnessed by careful winemaking and partial maturation in large seasoned oak barrels to deliver wonderfully approachable, opulent and mouth-coating flavours.
Winemaking: Sourced from a highly valued vineyard on the Willunga foothills of McLaren Vale, facing north westerly. The vineyard grows tiny, intense and high quality berries that delivered the richer flavours expected for a Crimson Monster Shiraz. Matured in a combination of stainless steel and large French oak 500 litre barrels. The wine was then blended and bottled.
Vintage 2021: A La Nina season brought much welcomed rain over the winter months and continued in providing a mild spring and summer. The cooler than average weather during harvest resulted in a longer ripening period and facilitated an outstanding flavour and tannin balance and wines with balanced natural acidity.
Tasting Note: This is an intense red wine jam-packed with dark and red berry flavours. Big fruit character from tiny berries of older vines deliver blackberry, plum flavours with vanilla, milk chocolate and fresh leather on the palate. The mouth-feel is soft and cuddly with velvety tannins and a long finish. Pair with steak.
