The fruit is sourced from a vineyard at 550 meters in elevation. Part of the wine matured in concrete egg, which preserves the fruit and creates seamlessness and chalkiness in the tannins. The tannins are profuse but pliable. This is highly attractive and brooding, in its way. The fruit is sourced from the Naimanya and Burley vineyards, both in Flaxman’s Valley up in the Eden Valley. The wine matured in a combination of oak (15% new) and 25% concrete egg. 13.3% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. \u003cstrong\u003e97 Pts, Drink 2025-2039 - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49894296486081,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Agricola_Vintners_Flaxman_Valley_Shiraz_2024_Eden_Valley.jpg?v=1783474956"},{"product_id":"envinate-benje-blanco-2024","title":"Envinate Benje Blanco 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vibrant, terroir-driven white from Envínate, made from 100% Listán Blanco grown in old, high-altitude volcanic vineyards near Santiago del Teide on Tenerife.
