2020 Tim Adams Schaefer Vineyard Shiraz 14.9% 6x75cl

The Schaefer Vineyard represents something truly special-both in the uniquely elegant and richly flavoured fruit it produces, and in the meticulous care and passion shown by the Schaefer family through their twenty years of grape growing.

Now custodians of this beautiful property, we continue to nurture the vines with the same dedication and attention to detail. Carefully selected parcels from the finest blocks of this vineyard were chosen for this special release.

Matured for twenty-four months in French oak, the wine shows perfume, toasty notes, and excellent balance. Black cherries, plums, and ripe red berries dominate the palate, lifted by the distinctive spice and freshness that define Schaefer Shiraz. A complex yet graceful wine.

Patient cellaring will be rewarded, with the wine expected to evolve beautifully for up to 20 years.

Schaefer Shiraz comes from a cherished Clare Valley vineyard that produces intensely flavoured fruit with real depth and character. This single-vineyard wine shows the power and purity of Clare Shiraz wile keeping Tim Adams' hallmark balance and drinkability.

Twenty-four months in new French oak brings chocolate, spice and beautifully integrated structure, framing generous dark red cherry, plum and red berry aromas and flavours. The oak sits in the background, adding complexity and length without dominating the vibrant fruit,

Rich and full-bodied, yet polished, Schaefer Shiraz is equally at home alongside slow-cooked meats and hearty dishes or cellared for future enjoyment. It's a superb choice for fans of premium Clare Valley shiraz looking for something with a strong sense of place.
