Amongst the patchwork of Wynns vineyards on the famed terra rossa strip, one special area is V&A Lane. A long, straight road surveyed in 1851 which was the old district boundary between the historical electorates of Victoria and Albert. The mature Shiraz vineyards along V&A Lane ripen early and are among the first picked each season. The resulting wines have a modern appeal being fresh and spicy, yet still maintaining the succulent and silky palate structure of a Shiraz that can proudly take its place on the world stage.
The purpose of V&A Lane Shiraz is to showcase a contrasting wine style from one of our most beloved grape varieties. A purposely early harvest to highlight a fresh red fruit spectrum, naturally lower alcohol, whole bunch inclusion, wild ferments, and the use of larger oak for maturation are just some of the techniques employed to make these beautiful food friendly wines.

Roasted strawberry, magnolia flower and fresh pastry notes. The 50% whole bunches retained in ferment enhance the cool climate florals to next level.
Bright cherry and blueberry complement more savoury elements of stalks, pastry, and spice. There is a light yet expansive quality to the palate. The pure fruits flow through to lingering crushed pepper and a biscuity finish. This is an early ripening, early harvested wine. The resulting freshness and brightness with low alcohol and many layers of flavour has become a signature of the V&A Lane wines.

"Medium deep crimson. Musky plum, blackberry, dark cherry aromas with mocha, herb garden notes. Inky deep wine with pure blackberry, dark cherry flavours, briary/ grippy textures and well-balanced mocha, vanilla notes. Finishes slinky and long with crunchy notes. Still in its elemental phase but should develop well. 12.7% alc Drink 2024 – 2034 93 points"

"V&A Lane is a well known road, long and straight (not as though there is much in Coonawarra to cause it to bend) and through the centre of the famed terra rossa soil, dividing the electorates of Victoria and Albert. The average age of the Shiraz vines here is touching the half century. The fruit from here is early ripening, for Coonawarra, and usually seen as part of the fresh and red-fruited spectrum. The colour is a bright crimson, while the nose immediately brings to mind handfuls of freshly turned earth, with milk chocolate, aniseed, bay leaves, raspberries and coffee grinds. Seamless in style, the palate moves more to black cherry notes with good oak integration, very fine tannins and impeccable balance. A fine regional Shiraz which will drink well for the next 8 to 10 years, and no doubt longer from good cellars."
