Sampling Shiraz Wine Decoded Bathtub Winemaking Project V16 by Paul Kaan Feature

“Squishing Shiraz Samples” Wine Decoded Shiraz Vintage 16 Episode 01


After a false start, the WINE DECODED Bathtub Winemaking Project 2016 is GO!
Big Shout Out to Dylan McMahon for helping us find some yummy fruit to play with!
Yesterday we sampled Shiraz from a beautiful vineyard in Seville East on the edge of Gruyere in the Yarra Valley.

The bunch below the hydrometer and in the bottom right corner are Shiraz, the two at the top are Pinot Noir and the light coloured one is a bunch of Traminer from a rogue vine nestled amongst the Pinot.

We’ll add some of the Shiraz stalks back to the ferment to introduce some yummy spice and help stabilise the colour of the wine. Stay tuned to find out how we make GIANT Stalk Teabags! You can see some brown ripe seeds that are full of yummy tannin.
