Poonawatta Estate Shiraz is produced from what was once part of the largest, privately owned vineyard in South Australia. Only two acres of the original vineyard remain as a living relic of Australia's pioneering winemaking heritage. Established in 1880, Poonawatta’s ‘1880’ vineyard is one of the last remaining vineyards of its era, and one of the oldest in Australia. The Holt family purchased the property in 1966 and commenced the restoration of the vineyard which had been neglected for many years. Since then 7 additional acres have been added; ‘The Eden’ vineyard, a 5 acre Riesling acre and ‘The Cuttings’ vineyard, a 2 acre plot planted with cuttings from the 1880 Shiraz. Proprietor Andrew Holt has commisioned Reid Bosward of Kaesler to make the wine. The vineyards are on a cool site even for Eden Valley so the more delicate characteristics of cooler climate Shiraz are evident and the Riesling is perfectly suited to this higher elevation. Reid generally goes for about 2/3 new French barrique on the reds for up to a year. |
