Wine from Brittany
Filter
Located in the northwest region of France, Brittany is home to some of the finest white wines in the country. Muscadet and Gros Plant grape varietals dominate the wine production of the region.
Muscadet grapes originated from Dutch merchants back in the 17th century. The Dutch merchants at that time emphasize the Burgundy melon grape plantation in the region of Pays de la Loire. The flavor that comes out of Burgundy melon grapes became a strong influence to the flavor of Muscadet that locals and tourists enjoy today.
Gros plant, on the other hand, is known for its natural high acidity. Its acidic quality gives the Gros plant a reputation for being a healthy wine. Even though Muscadet and Gros plant are dominant grape varietals in Brittany, the cider is still Brittany’s traditional drink. Currently, Brittany is deemed to be France’s second largest cider-producing region.

Thorn Clarke William Randell Shiraz is made from 100 percent Shiraz
The William Randell range of wines were created in honor of our family ancestor - the esteemed pioneer William Richard Randell (1824 - 1911). The wines are sourced solely from grapes grown on our estate vineyards. Wines in this range are only made in exceptional vintages.
Deep red with inky purple hues. This classic Barossa style shows rich blackberry, licorice, spice plum and smoky oak on the nose. The palate is dense with ripe mulberry and berry compote and generous supporting oak. The tannins are savory and long with spicy refined finish
Following harvest the fruit was crushed into a variety of small fermenters (4 to 6T in capacity). Fermentation was carried out at a warm temperature (25-28 degrees ). The ferments were manually pumped over to provide good control of tannin extraction. Each fermenter was treated as a separate parcel of wine and once dry was filled to American oak (40% new). Following malolactic fermentation the wines were racked and returned to the same oak. Parcels remained in barrel for an average of 18 months prior to blending. Only the best barrels from the multiple parcels were used to make the final blend. Once blended the wine was prepared for bottling.
