Footsteps Shiraz
2025 Shiraz, Rutherglen, Victoria
Our Cofield Footsteps Shiraz is a blend of Shiraz grown on sandy soils vineyards abutting the River Murray in Rutherglen. These lighter soils accentuate the fruitiness of the wines, with Shiraz showing a dark plummy flavour. A small amount of French barrel maturation helps to build some structure, and marry into the bright fruit flavours.
Description
Our Cofield Footsteps Shiraz is crafted from Shiraz grapes grown on the sandy soils of vineyards abutting the River Murray in Rutherglen. These lighter soils enhance the wine’s natural fruitiness, resulting in a varietal expression rich in dark plum flavors. A small portion of French oak maturation adds structure and integrates seamlessly with the bright fruit character of the wine.
On the nose, the wine offers aromas of dark plum, ripe blackberry, subtle spice, and a hint of French oak. The medium-bodied palate is juicy and approachable, with soft tannins and a touch of oak-integrated structure that highlights the wine’s vibrant fruit character and delivers a smooth, balanced finish.
