Lienert Vineyards 'Sieben Klon' Barossa Shiraz 2021

Special Price $40.00 Regular Price $50.00
The 3rd, and best release of Sieben Klon Shiraz so far - no surprise, given this is from the exceptional 2021 vintage. Made by former Penfolds St Henri growers, the Lienert brothers, each of the 7 distinct clones were harvested and fermented separately - the harvest date chosen to best allow each grape to express its best characters. For instance, the EVOS12 (Eden Valley clone) was harvested earlier than the others to allow for a beautiful perfume and liveliness in the final wine. Fermentation is done in tiny open top fermenters which are hand plunged up to 4 times a day. Certain clones are fermented cooler to better express delicate aromatics whilst some are plunged and pumped over heavily to achieve a more structural element. The trick is finding the right balance. Anyways, we love this wine and encourage you to give it a rip.

The Lienerts have been farming in the Barossa for 150 years and decided to add some vines to their property about 20 years ago. The first harvests (2004 and 2005) went straight to the pool room, aka into Penfold’s St Henri. Funnily enough they then planted a lot more vines and introduced many more clonal variations of Shiraz. When they decided to start making booze, we conspired with them to come up with a wine from the best parcels of their finest 7 clonal selections of Shiraz. The intention – to make a wine which is floral and beguiling on the nose, densely fruited on the palate, long, complex and bloody awesome. The Seiben-Klon Shiraz clones (German for seven clones) are as follows: 1654 – The mainstay of the Barossa Valley. This brings dark fruits, structure, length and richness Yalumba 2 (La Mouline) – An Hermitage French clone... finesse and elegance EVOS12 - Poonawatta clone – An Eden Valley Shiraz selection... fruitiness and fragrance BVRC12 – A Barossa Selection... red fruits, medium bodied 1127 – A spicy clone offering the highest levels of rotundone (pepper character) in Shiraz... spice, fruit, grippy tannins R6 – Long and big bunches... minerality and bright fruits Sardi 3 – A Mclaren Vale selection... classic McLaren Vale characters and a nice saline edge
