YALUMBA PARADOX SHIRAZ

A wet winter and dry spring resulted in smaller berries and bunches, producing grapes of
great aromatics and flavour. A long and mild summer with very few heat spikes and cool
nights, has contributed to a wine of great balance and beauty.
Made with little intervention, the 2015 Paradox Shiraz used small parcels of grapes
fermented with wild yeast in French open top oak vats. The ferment naturally gets warm,
allowing the fruit flavours and textures to express themselves, while the tannin extraction
is minimal. Natural malolactic fermentation occurs in oak, the majority of which is old
and larger format puncheons.
