The wines were pumped over skins twice per day, and pressed at around 2 degrees Baume. One-third of each wine was added to new French oak hogsheads to complete fermentation, and the balance was added to older oak when dry. The wines were finally blended a month prior to bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eVine Age: 85 (60%) -120 years (40%)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAlcohol: 14.6%\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tResidual Sugar: 0.8g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTotal Acidity: 6.9g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tpH: 3.45 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eDeep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Old Vine Shiraz Reserve Release is intensely scented of spiced blackberries, black cherry tart and mulberries with underlying Chinese five spice, incense, Szechuan pepper and star anise hints. Full-bodied and loaded with muscular, blackberry and exotic spice flavors, it displays a good backbone of medium to firm, rounded tannins and lively acid before finishing long and layered. Approachable now, it should drink to 2024+. \u003cstrong\u003e-Robert Parker 93+ Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cape Barren Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948811218991,"sku":"A0EE353000SZL","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/384.png?v=1771483986","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/cape-barren-old-vine-shiraz-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
