Wines by St Johns Road

St Johns Road Blood Courage Shiraz 2010

St John's Road has been brought back to life by the places and personalities, the heritage and folklore of Barossa Valley. Every winter weekend, the red blooded players at St Johns Road take to the footy field for a true blue test of skill, strength and character. Blood & Courage is the quintessential Barossa Shiraz and it's all come about because of great teamwork. A play of ripe, rich fruit from the vineyard, balanced oak integration and skilful winemaking. Blood & Courage captures the very spirit of the game long after the final whistle has been blown.

The team at St Johns Road aim to identify small parcels of exceptional Barossa Shiraz worthy of Blood & Courage. Batches are vinified and aged separately right up to the final assembly, such that each component can be treated individually. Ferments last up to ten days to avoid over extracting. Pumpover regimes and cap work is decided by taste and most often hand plunged, the active wine is then returned back over the skins. Parcels are left to settle and finish fermentation for twenty four hours followed by racking off gross lees. Components are then matured in a selection of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels for a year before assembling into the final wine.

Vibrant, dark opaque ink with purple hues. Strong blackcurrant, dark plum and spicy mulberry fruit, then a subtle overlay of dry roasted almonds, cocoa and wood smoke. It‘s going to be big! Full bodied, robust like Aussie rules footballers! Intense flavours of dark berry and plum mixed with Barossa earthiness. Red liquorice and dark chocolate too, fresh and lively, rich in texture with subtle oak that shows soft, well integrated tannins. A good portion of the fruit is from Greenock, easily recognizable for the sweet fruit and mocha, so characteristic of the district. A convincing finish, packed with flavour that lingers long after the last sip! Blood & Courage is delicious right now! But if you can resist, it will also cellar well.
