Voyager’s Shiraz has been going from strength to strength and this example is another leap forward. Sourced from select parcels on four Shiraz blocks, it offers the understated elegance of the Voyager style: bright and juicy, underlaid with earth and spice.
Hand-harvested grapes were destemmed but not crushed, then fermented as whole berries in a combination of open and closed fermenters, with gentle hand-plunging and pump-overs twice a day. After fermentation, the wines were pressed, transferred to barrel and matured in quality oak (a portion of which was new) for 12 months. The parcels were then blended prior to bottling. The quality of the vintage beams bright in the 2020 release; it’s a punchy, juicy and rich wine, packed with earth, spice and all things nice.
