93 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion
"Hand-picked from selected estate blocks, destemmed whole berries twice sorted then crushed to open fermenters, cold soak, wild fermentation, 10 days on skins; no additives of any kind, but filtered. I assume the wine has not seen oak, nor the addition of SO2. Vivid, deep purple; typical of the adventurous and skilled Peter Fraser, with a rumbling tsunami of black fruit flavours. Bring on a large T-bone steak, and I'll happily do battle."

From the Winery

The PF Shiraz is made from grapes grown on our certified biodynamic single-estate vineyard, grown without herbicides, fungicides or synthetic chemicals. It is made without additions of any kind: sulphur (preservative), acid, tannin or finings.

2015 was an extremely early and fast vintage, Shiraz was low yielding but a highlight for us with intense colour and vibrant fruit flavours. Shiraz from several selected blocks were hand-picked and received via a belt elevator (rather than a screw hopper which macerates the skins) and de-stemmed. Whole berries were double sorted before being lightly broken going into a small opentop fermenters. No additives were used for the wine’s entire production. As with all of our wines, after a few days cold soaking, we allowed natural yeast fermentation and used a careful regime of plunging and drain and returns to get the right balance of extraction. The wine was carefully pressed after 10 days
on skins and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation prior to bottling with no additions, or fining, just filtration.
