This wine is made up of 38% Shiraz, 36% Mataro and 26%
Grenache, with the majority grown here on our vineyards
surrounding our Whistler Cellar Door. We have been running
our vineyard using organic practices since August 2013, and
biodynamic practices since July 2017
WINEMAKING
The Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache were all harvested
separately, when each variety was at optimum ripeness. All
three varieties were destemmed in the vineyard, and whole
berry, natural fermentation was allowed to commence.
Fermentation took place in open fermenters and were then
gently pumped over, twice daily, to achieve gentle extraction
of colour. Once each variety reached dryness, they were
basket pressed and put to French oak for 3 months. Each
variety was kept separate until it was blended just prior to
bottling. No fining agents were used, so this wine is Vegan
friendly
This wine is designed to be an easy drinking red wine that
over delivers for the price. The Shiraz component gives the
wine a nice blue fruit character and good depth of flavour,
the Mataro gives the wine structure and an earthy
character, while the Grenache shows plenty of juicy red
fruits. This is the perfect BBQ wine, and works extremely
well chilled in warmer weather.
STORY BEHIND THELABEL
The butterfly is a symbol for transformation and this blend
certainly changes year-to-year. Like an artist, our winemaker
classifies our fruit each vintage designating each parcel to
its best home. The triad represents the varietals, Shiraz,
Mataro and Grenache that work together to produce a
wonderfully balanced wine
