One Chain Vineyards, The Wrong Un Shiraz, Cabernet, South Australia, 2022

Producer Profile

One Chain works with growers to source fruit from some of the most respected regions of South Eastern Australia.

They work to produce wines that are inspired by a love for one of Australia’s most cherished sports – the name ‘One Chain’ being the imperial measurement for 22 yards, or the length of a cricket pitch. Even so, you really don’t need to be a connoisseur of the game to be bowled over by the restrained, elegant style of One Chain’s Chardonnay or the bright red fruit and subtle oak of its Shiraz Cabernet.

Viticulture

Grapes are harvested by machine in the cool of the night from vineyard sites across South Eastern Australia.

Winemaking

Parcels of fruit were destemmed and crushed into static and rotary fermentation vessels and fermented on skins for around seven to ten days, at temperatures between 18 and 26 degrees. Cap management techniques were optimised for each individual parcel to maximise the extraction of desirable colour and flavour components while maintaining soft tannin structures. Maturation took place mostly in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Note

A rich, well balanced example of the Aussie classic blend. Lush black fruits coupled with touches of woodspice, liquorice and cassis follow through to a delicious, velvety finish. This wine is consistently good from vintage to vintage.

Food Matching

Enjoy with grilled steak on the BBQ.
