2018 VINTAGE NOTES
The growing season leading into vintage 2018 saw good rain events but a few late frosts reduced the yield over a small area of our vineyard. However, this was compensated by a very healthy fruit set across the balance of our vineyard. January onwards we experienced great weather conditions through to picking. Ideal day time temperatures for ripening, and slightly warmer than normal nights, with only one period of refreshing rain. A warm first week of March with day time temperatures up to 33C hastened ripening especially for the early ripening variety Shiraz blocks. All the portents and excitement of the excellent quality of the 2018 grapes and wine.
2018 Bowen Estate Coonawarra Shiraz New Release Valued at $27.50
The alluring ‘fruit cake’ juiciness of Shiraz is ever present in this wine. Our many years of selective vineyard replanting are coming to fruition. It aids this wine helping with extra depth and structure on the palate complimenting the luscious round fruit flavours naturally abundant in Shiraz. The meshing together of the focused American oak tannins, support the abundant layers of dark fruit and chocolate flavours on the palate. Drink over the next 5 – 7 years.
2018 Bowen Estate Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon New Release Valued at $27.50
The vibrancy and energy of this wine was evident from day one. Deep purple colour and abundant dark berry aromatics entice the drinker. A fantastic growing period ensured this wine reflects our desired wine style. There is a finely interlaced tannin structure with a richly textured palate showing vibrancy, length and energy. This is a wine which will continue to grow and evolve over time giving the drinker much to be excited about. Drink over the next 5 – 7 years.
