R2323, AWRI 350 and EC1118 yeasts are used to ferment the various parcels of fruit. Tannin extraction was minimised and the ferment allowed to reach up to 30°C to create vibrant fruit extraction.

After disgorging it is then cellared for a further 12 months prior to release.  Only made every few years, it shows the obvious benefit of those extra years in bottle - complex and creamy with plenty of flavour and richness while retaining the hallmark elegance of Mount Avoca's reds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mount Avoca","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":14174358086,"sku":"","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1084\/5922\/files\/MtAvoca_Jack_Barry_1065x1420px.png?v=1788932834"},{"product_id":"estate-2021-old-vine-shiraz","title":"Estate 2021 Old Vine Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eVegan Australia Certified\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStuart Knox, The Real Review, 95 points - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Deep ruby colour.
