{"product_id":"2023-sentio-beechworth-shiraz","title":"2023 Sentio Beechworth Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade by Chris Catlow, the 2023 Sentio Beechworth Shiraz is a wine that tells the story of its high-altitude granite soils and the careful hands that shaped it. Sourced from vineyards at 570 metres with a northeast aspect, this Shiraz captures the essence of Beechworth’s rugged landscape with vibrant fruit and finely tuned complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChris splits the handpicked fruit into two distinct parcels: one fully de-stemmed and partially crushed, fermented in stainless steel for precision; the other fermented with 100% whole clusters in an open-top concrete vessel, imparting depth and texture. After fermentation, the wine rests in a mix of barrique, demi, and puncheons, with a portion of new oak adding a polished edge. The result is a wine that marries freshness and structure, bottled in February 2024 after blending in October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect an aromatic burst of raspberry coulis, an exaggerated perfume, and layers of spice. On the palate, there’s a tight minerality, juicy red fruits, and a lively sweetness that makes each sip a joy. The whole-bunch fermentation adds a lifted floral quality, while the granite soils keep the profile crisp and focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bursting in the kind of energy and vitality that could fuel a small city, this is one juicy, exciting shiraz. Fresh, spicy plum and blackberry fruits with pepper, aniseed, woodsy spices and earth enhanced by a light mineral thread of graphite and gravel. It speaks eloquently of the grape and the soil, the spice and the plushness of fruit and vanillin oak, before finishing in a fine tannin-ed elegance.
