2025 Singlefile Single Vineyard Frankland River Shiraz

Frankland River is arguably the premier shiraz growing subregion of Western Australia and is recognised for its distinctive black fruit and black pepper characters. Shiraz from the Donnelly River vineyard delivers the quintessential characteristics expected of fine Frankland River shiraz fruit.

The 2025 growing season offered even temperatures and clear skies, with a slightly early harvest. Well timed rain in Frankland River during harvest freshened up the vineyard, and took some pressure off picking, allowing the fruit an additional week or so on the vine to develop lovely varietal flavours.

After picking on 2nd April, the fruit was hand sorted. The fermentation took place in closed fermenters, and maceration was gentle lasting twelve days with minimal interventions. The wine was then aged in medium toast French oak barriques for eleven months.
