STONEY CLAY SOIL – OWN ROOT STOCK – ROD & SPUR PRUNED
Handcrafted from vines planted on a northern facing ridge in skeletal stoney clay soil on a 1.3HA parcel in our estate vineyard at Rowland Flat Barossa Valley. The stoney clay soil restricts the growth and yield in the own rooted vines that were planted in 1995. Cuttings from our Estate owned centenarian block, planted in 1917 located between the winery and Luthern Church of Rowland Flat were used to start this vineyard. The yield is further controlled by employing a rod and spur (also known as cane) pruning technique that can only be completed by hand.

The 2014 Lou Miranda Estate Shiraz has all the characters that make it quintessentially Barossa; Bold, robust and rich.
The fruit is extraordinary and supports making a single vineyard wine. The 2014 is full bodied with intensity and concentration. There is a density to the palate with structure, velvety texture and persistence of flavour.
Matured in American oak barrels of medium to high toast for 4 years allowing the tannins to fully develop and soften. The wine is multi layered displaying fruit cake, chocolate, coffee, spice and cedar on both aroma and palate. Concentrated and powerful yet delivered with a delicate touch of fully ripen and mature tannins. Displaying developing tertiary characters, this wine can be consumed for enjoyment now for those who can not wait. However the structure will reward those who have patience and correct cellaring for 20 + years.
We recommend decanting prior to serving which will allow the wines full personality to shine. Drink with someone very special and eat with strongly flavoured foods such as duck, venison, lamb or Indian red curry.
