Description

Winemaker BEN RIGGS, who is widely regarded as one of Australia’s leading Shiraz winemakers, has produced another outstanding Shiraz, representing the second tier of the vineyards Shiraz Journey – the first Shiraz being labelled ‘The Beginning’. Journeys End Ascent Shiraz is produced from low yielding vines and gains its layers of complexity in part by using a variety of Shiraz clones. These clones include such exotic numbers as SA 1654, SA 1127, SA 712 & BVRC 30. Whilst it may all appear to be mumbo jumbo, in reality each clone of Shiraz has its ownpeculiar characteristic. Clone SA 1654 has a stewed fruit and sour cherry flavour profile, SA 2626 delivers the winemaker a firmer tannin structure, fuller palate and peppery back palate, SA 1127 is more aromatic on the nose with top note of violet and plum. The tannins are firm and the black pepper characteristic more intense. The interesting observation relating to clonal selection is that the end flavour profiles tend to be terroir specific. If for example, clone SA 712 was planted in say Heathcote, the aroma of chocolate, plum and vanilla may not be apparent and a different profile may evolve. That is one of the fascinating aspects of viticulture. It is by master blending these final components that additional complexity can be achieved. For the Ascent Shiraz, Ben Riggs uses new American and French oak barriques from various coopers to add even more layers of flavour.
