The 2018 vintage strikes again—it is driven, pure and concentrated. It can't be underestimated for its ability to provide a perfectly ripe platform for great wine, both red and white, in Margaret River. The fruit for the 2018 Art Series Shiraz was wholly sourced from the estate Peppy Park vineyard, 17 kilometers south of the main estate vineyard in Boodjidup. The fruit went over a sorting table, followed by a five-day cold soak. There is up to 20% whole bunch in this cuvée (none in 2017 or 2019), and it is composed of 100% WA Clone. The wine was matured for 18 months in 600-liter demi-muids (Rhone and a Bordelais coopers). "Our priority is opening up the canopies to obtain proper solarization of bunches," said Lovett.
