Winery:
Shirvington
Shirvington is a South Australian wine producer, with vineyards in the McLaren Vale region. It harvested its first crop of fruit in 1999, and today specializes in making red wines based on the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz wine grape varieties from its two vineyards, Redwind and Manjalda. The Redwind vineyard enjoys a Mediterranean climate of warm summers and moderate, wet winters. The vineyard is planted to a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Mataro (Mourvèdre) grape varieties that form the basis of the estate's two single-vineyard Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. The Manjalda vineyard is devoted to the growth of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Grenache grape varieties. The vines are planted at a slightly higher elevation to the Redwind vineyard, although it has a broadly similar climate. In addition to its two single-vineyard varietal wines, Shirvington also produces a single-block Shiraz wine (Block 9), as well as Cabernet Sauvignon- and Shiraz-based wines made from a blend of fruit sourced from several vineyard blocks.
