THE MEDHYK | SHIRAZ | 2020 | McLAREN VALE
 Angove Family Winemakers is a fifth-generation family owned and operated winery and distillery dedicated to crafting  
super premium and single vineyard wines from their organic vineyards in McLaren Vale, together with diverse organic wines  
and spirits from some of Australia’s great wine growing regions.
 VINEYARDS
 The fine sands of Blewitt springs gave us some lovely 
fruit from vines planted in the 1940’s. Roots deep in 
the sand on a west facing slope shows the fine flavours 
typical of the region. The Railroad vineyard just outside 
Willunga has some ancient vines grown in Biscay clay 
and provides the fruit heart of this wine, the vineyard 
always excels in hot years as the heavy clay retains 
moisture long into the season. Our own certified organic 
and biodynamic Warboys Vineyard gives the final wine 
depth and texture, the chalk hill and deep loamy soils 
providing complexity.

GROWING SEASON
 Bushfires in December and January in the Adelaide Hills 
and Kangaroo Island threatened to impact McLaren 
Vale. Some smoke in the air did not affect grapes as 
the timing , before veraison, meant the grapes did not 
absorb any flavour. 2019-2020 growing season was very 
dry. High winds in October and November during  
flowering lead to bad fruit set and this, coupled with  
the dry growing season, resulted in a very low crop  
especially in the old vine parcels that contribute to 
this wine. Small parcels of highly concentrated grapes 
were picked late February and continued into the first 
week of March.
 VINIFICATION
 All batches of grapes were kept separate during  
vinification. Handpicked and hand sorted the fruit  
was treated differently depending on the vineyard from 
whence it came. The spicy rich fruit from our certified 
organic and biodynamic Warboys Vineyard had 15% 
whole bunches added to the ferments to complement 
the structure and rich tannins the vineyard gives. Grapes 
from Blewitt Springs were destemmed but not crushed 
allowing thousands of whole berries to create many tiny 
ferments within the whole batch. Whilst fruit from the 
ancient vines grown on Willungas black crackling Biscay 
clay were destemmed and crushed to expose their lush 
rich heart. Basket pressed to French Oak puncheons 
the final assemblage was made in early October 2021. 
Bottled without fining or filtration.

STYLE | PALATE
 Smooth plum and blackberry fruit, a  
hint of dark chocolate is laced with  
French oak and complex tannins.  
Medium to full bodied wine which  
demonstrates elegance and power.  
This wine will continue to reward  
cellaring for many years.
