✨ Technical Specifications
The Testament Shiraz is a compelling tribute to the unique terroir of South Australia's Clare Valley. Sourced from low-yielding vineyards planted in the region's signature red loam over limestone soils, this wine benefits from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the valley, which allow the grapes to develop rich, concentrated flavors while retaining a vibrant natural acidity. Crafted using traditional open fermenters and matured in seasoned and new French oak hogsheads, the Testament Shiraz represents a harmonious balance between power and elegance. The name itself is a testament to the resilience of the region's old vines and the generations of grape growers who have preserved the viticultural heritage of this historic winemaking region.
