Well-timed January rain supported the dry-grown vines, while warm days and slightly cooler nights during ripening helped preserve freshness and balance. Cabernet Sauvignon came from the historic Stonegarden Vineyard in Eden Valley, while the Shiraz was selected from an exceptional Barossa Valley parcel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking Techniques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine combines 70% Cabernet Sauvignon from Eden Valley with 30% Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. The individual parcels were fermented separately in small stainless-steel fermenters, with some batches using submerged-cap techniques. Certain lots remained on skins for up to two weeks to build colour and structure. Following blending, the wine was matured for 18 months in French oak hogsheads, including both new and seasoned oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Deep crimson red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Blackberry and plum with subtle sage, clove, earth and spice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rich and structured, with concentrated dark fruit, liquorice and savoury spice supported by fine, integrated tannins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Long and composed, with lingering dark fruit, earthy spice and polished oak character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Shiraz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Fruit from exceptional old vineyards in Eden Valley and Barossa Valley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Matured for 18 months in French oak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Rich, structured and elegantly balanced\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Layers of blackberry, plum, spice and liquorice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Excellent long-term cellaring potential\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing Recommendations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs beautifully with grilled beef, slow-cooked lamb, roast meats, venison, barbecue dishes, rich meat-based pasta and mature hard cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Duval Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44347037221044,"sku":"VP-JDWICSBVB16-1P","price":238.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/5805\/8164\/files\/1169ee20622a42b2bbfd8b63d5dbc34b.jpg?v=1786707023","url":"https:\/\/justwines.com.au\/products\/john-duval-wines-integro-cabernet-shiraz-barossa-valley-2016-1-bottle","provider":"Just Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
