Woodstock Deep Sands Shiraz

Family owned and operated for three generations by the Colletts, Woodstock has maintained a commitment to capturing the essence of McLaren Vale since 1973 and are blessed with some of the oldest

The hero variety of the region, Woodstock Shiraz is sourced from Woodstock Estate and neighbouring vineyards in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. Blewitt springs has an individual microclimate displaying lower temperatures, greater air flow and slightly higher rainfall than the rest of the region. The terrain of our unofficial sub-region Blewitt Springs is characterised by undulating sand dunes, with a larger proportion of sand at the top of the hill and clay at the bottom. Grape vines thrive in our deep sandy soils - the softly structured sands allow root growth deep into the moist subsoils, which stay moist throughout the hot summer months. A combination of deep root growth, moist sub soils and milder summer temperatures allows for slow even ripening of our shiraz fruit- great for full flavoured, elegant styles of wine. 

Brilliant crimson in colour, this shiraz has a vibrant red fruit bouquet of cherry and plum. The palate is earthy and rich, exhibiting generous fleshy red fruit supported by white pepper spice and softly structured tannins. This bright and elegant shiraz will age well for 5-10 years.
