Lake Breeze

2022 ‘Bull Ant’ Shiraz, Lake Breeze

South Australia, AustraliaVintage: 2022

The playful label was inspired by the bullants, which are known to harass vineyard workers.  This 2022 vintage is a ripe, full-bodied wine that has benefited from 15 months of oak maturation. It shows aromas reminiscent of plums and chocolate with a touch of earthy complexity.  The palate is rich and full of black fruits and has a long, soft finish.

A wine that could partner a cheese plate equally as well as a rare fillet steak. It is drinking well now, but will age gracefully for the remainder of this decade.

Why we love it

Tremendous value for money and a joyful mouthful of wine.

Description

Lake Breeze is located in Langhorne Creek, South Australia, where the Follett family has been farming grapes since the 1880s. The estate is situated on the banks of Lake Alexandrina and the vineyard benefits from the ‘lake breeze’. Winemaker Greg Follett was brought up on the farm but left to study winemaking at Roseworthy before heading to make wine in California and France. He returned to his roots and in 1987 started making wine exclusively from the best 30 per cent of his old vine fruit. He rapidly built an enviable reputation for consistently producing outstanding wines and Lake Breeze is now one of the most awarded boutique wineries in Australia and has recently been awarded the accolade of being Halliday’s Best Value Winery 2022.

The fruit selection was paramount, only the best blocks are retained for the Bullant label and often it is only the fruit from the best rows of these blocks. The grapes were fermented on their skins for seven days in small, open fermenters. A daily regime of three rack and returns and pump-overs, ensured the desired level of extraction. Matured in French and American oak for 16 months, with the aim of softening the wine, while retaining primary fruit characters. The wine was not fined or filtered prior to bottling.
