The cool season with extended the grapes having extended time on the vine produced wines with great concentration of flavours, balanced acidity, and fine tannins. Shiraz was the star of the show, with wines that are full-bodied and complex, yet also elegant and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe Vineyards:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eSourced from multiple old vine vineyards (average 50+ year old) across the Western Ridge, from our home block in Marananga, Greenock and Seppeltsfield. All picked on separate dates when the fruit was optimally ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe Winemaking:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe grapes are hand and machine harvested. Each parcel of grapes fermented separately in open fermenters, prior to pressing to tank. The fermentation is completed in tank before the wine is racked to barrel. The wine is aged in a selection of French (15% new) and American oak for 16 months before blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JJ Hahn","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":44982321119440,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/8560\/5072\/files\/Western_Ridge_1975.png?v=1776902066","url":"https:\/\/empireliquor.com.au\/products\/western-ridge-1975-planting-shiraz","provider":"Empire Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
