Woodstock ‘The Stocks’Single Vineyard ShirazNamed after a set of medieval wooden leg Stocks which stand in the town of Woodstock in Oxfordshire, England, historicallyused for the public punishment of the town folk who over-imbibed, “The Stocks” Shiraz is Woodstock’s flagship wine. A replicaof this leg stocks has been built at the entrance to Woodstock Wine Estate.The ‘Stocks Shiraz’ is only produced in excellent vintages from the fruit of century old low yielding vines planted on the northface of the Woodstock Estate. This single vineyard which comprise of 31 rows, was planted in the early 1900’s on sandy top-soilover a layer of clay on an ironstone base. The light coloured sand reflects the sun which guarantees optimum ripeness. McLarenVale’s typically warm days and cool nights, with sea and gully breezes make ideal growing conditions.To ensure that this vineyard achieves maximum quality, the vines are inspected thoroughly during veraison. Exposed bunchesare removed to prevent sun burn and the canopies reduced to ensure perfect ripening. Yields are deliberately kept low and thevineyard essentially dry grown resulting in intense concentration of flavour evident in this wine. The Shiraz fruit is harvested atnight to capture and preserve the delicate flavours of the berries.These grapes were then crushed, cold soaked for 24 hours before fermentation in small open vats. To ensure the excellentcolour and ripe tannin structure so necessary for a wine built to age, each fermenter is hand plunged twice daily. The wine thenaged in carefully selected French and American oak barrels in a temperature controlled room for 9 to 18 months. Each barrel isthen tasted individually by winemakers Scott Collett and Ben Glaetzer and only the finest chosen to continue the lineage ofWoodstock’s flagship “The Stocks” Shiraz.2008 Woodstock ‘The Stocks’ Shiraz Single Vineyard Estate Grown 16.5 63Silver Medal – 2010 International Wine Challenge, LondonThe 2008 ‘The Stocks’ Shiraz is a rich and complex wine, with layers of aromas and flavours which continue to evolve in thetasting glass, and in the cellar.
