Setiono Lowke Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 Winery Notes "V22 in Barossa Valley was a cool and wet season with memorable hail events leading to low yields and producing structured, flavourful wines. The fruit for this wine was sourced from Rhonda Lowke’s vineyard in Ebenezer, now managed by Adrian Hoffmann. This early 1900s organic vineyard is on dark brown loam with rich ironstone and calcium. It is less than a hectare of concentrated, dry-grown shiraz. A single tonne of fruit was produced from this low yielding site. It was wild fermented entirely as whole bunches and left on skins for two and a half weeks. The wine then matured in old hogsheads on full lees for about a year. Bottling took place on site without filtration or fining and all movements, from grape to wine, were done by gravity. Production – 684 bottles The label background was painted by Angela Oemcke and was created to mimic the waterways underneath the vineyard and convey Barossa Valley’s warmer climate."
