Fruit is sourced from a single vineyard located high on the northern facing slopes of King Valley. The winemaking team taste and assess fruit as it ripens on the vine every few days, to ensure a harvest of optimal ripeness and ideal tannin. Vertically shoot positioned vines and double wire trellising permit maximum penetration of sunlight through the canopy, vital for Durif to develop fully as it requires greater sunlight than other grapes. A brave, mouth filling high country wine to accompany baked pasta, braises and grills.
Sam Miranda grew up amongst the vines of Griffith but he became inspired by the quality of King Valley fruit and natural beauty of the Victorian high country. He established vines along the scenic roadway to Falls Creek and Mt Hotham in the 1990s. Miranda now retain access to the finest harvests of Durif in the Victorian alpines. Fruit is crushed into traditional three tonnes open fermenters, inoculated, vinified and hand plunged twice daily to maximise extraction of flavour, colour and tannin from the grape skins. After a fortnight of ferments and a course maceration, batches are filled to a selection of seasoned and new French oak barrels for a year's maturation and light egg white fining before bottling.
TASTING NOTES
Bright violet red hues. Aromatic yet elegantly poised, cherry chocolate notes, blueberries over sweet chocolate oak, currants and spiced mulberry nose. Richly textured palate, ripe tannin structure in support of berry fruit flavours, currants, carob and plum, framed by delicately spiced French vanilla pod oak, lingering long and lasting on a clean, satisfying finish.
 Miranda
Sam Miranda is the third generation of a prominent winemaking family who moved from Italy to Australia in the 1930s
Sam grew up amongst the vines in Griffith but he eventually became aware of the quality of King Valley fruit as growers would drop by to sell their harvests. Sam became highly enthused by tales the growers would tell him of the natural beauty of King Valley and the excellent conditions for growing world class fruit. Griffith and King Valley share a vibrant culture of Italian migrant agriculture, in 1991 Sama made the journey and fell in love with the picturesque beauty of Victoria's high country. Sam loved the fresh style and complex structure of King Valley wines. He acquired a 70 hectare property in 1997 on the corner of Snow and Whitfield Roads. He made his King Valley operations complete when he established a winery and cellar door in the following year. Miranda»
