2021 Calcannia Clare Valley Shiraz
Production information
2021 Calcannia Clare Valley Shiraz
History: Byrne Vineyards established in 1960 near Devlin’s Pound in South Australia where they planted a vineyard. Here began the Byrne family passion for wine and viticulture. In 2001 Byrne family acquired the Scotts Creek vineyard in which was established by Penfolds. The site was chosen due to its close proximity to the Barossa Valley, the excellent limestone soils and ideal climate for premium wine production. Over the last two decades, Byrne Vineyard has adopted innovative sustainable practices allowing water to be returned to the natural environment and preserving our wetland.
Calcannia: Nestled within the picturesque Stanley Flat region of renowned Clare Valley, you'll find Calcannia. Our name draws its inspiration from the road that gracefully winds alongside the vineyard, epitomizing our connection to the land. Located just 6 kilometers north of the township of Clare, and adjacent to the serene Hutt River, the vineyard basks in perfect conditions for crafting wines of exceptional quality
Vinification & Winemaking: The 2021 Clare Valley vintage benefited from cooler-than-usual temperatures, allowing for optimal ripening and full flavor development while maintaining balance and refinement. The vineyard’s unique sandy loam soils over alluvial clay and sedimentary rock ensured excellent drainage and mineral supply to the vines. Shiraz grapes were fermented for 10 days in stainless steel open fermenters with daily pump-overs to extract maximum color and depth. After primary fermentation, the wine was racked into seasoned French and American oak barrels for malolactic fermentation.
