68% Clone 1 and Clone 100 Shiraz, 4% Viognier. Fruit was harvested late October from our Queenston Road Vineyard in St. David’s Bench vineyard. The Viognier and Shiraz were co-fermented in small bins, with manual punch-down of the caps followed by full malo-lactic fermentation in barrel. The wine was then put in to French oak barrels (45% of the lot was new barrels) and aged for 22 months. The final blend was bottled September 12th 2009. Recommended drinking 2011 to 2016.

Reviews

“…this iconic and much awarded Shiraz is perhaps the one wine that defines Creekside. The 2007 is a sensational wine with lifted aromatics that are helped along with a shot of Viognier added to the Shiraz. Viognier brings a floral element to the rich red berries and spicy core. On the palate, the ripe red fruits are balanced by layers of spice, oak and ripe tannins. This is a highly structured red with persistent and layered fruits that will deliver a rewarding experience for years down the road. Bravo! Enjoy!” 4½ stars out of 5, Rick VanSickle, St. Catharines Standard, February 28, 2010
