What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Winemakers Notes

2005 Vintage

Vintage Conditions
The winter months were ideal, with above average rainfall and normal temperatures allowing soil profiles to receive sufficient amounts of rainfall prior to spring. Favourable weather conditions during Spring and Summer provided a good start for the vintage, resulting in well balanced vine-canopy growth. A warm, dry Summer extending well into Autumn with cool night temperatures ensured gradual ripening. These conditions produced fully ripened Shiraz grapes with excellent colour and intense flavours and varietal expression.

March to April 2005.



Vinification and Maturation
High quality Shiraz parcels exhibiting varietal fruit flavour were selected from extensive vineyard searching by our winemaking team. The fruit was sourced predominantly from South Australian wine districts.

Seasonal conditions enabled our Shiraz grapes to reach full maturity. This has enabled the winemakers to produce a range of rich, round and generous base wines with great depth of flavour and soft balanced tannins.

Fermentation took place over 10 – 12 days in a combination of static and rotary fermenters. Attention to cap management regime and temperature control have maintained the Wyndham Estate BIN 555 Shiraz characteristics of softness and generous flavour coupled with great drinkability.

A selection of predominantly American oak hogsheads was used for the maturation of selected wine parcels for a period of 12 months prior to blending and bottling.
