Gapsted Buffalo King Valley Shiraz 2022 - 12 Bottles

Tasting notes

Gapsted Estate sources fruit from vineyards across Victorias King Valley, a cool climate region known for producing vibrant and expressive Shiraz styles. The Buffalo range highlights approachable wines with strong regional character, combining freshness, fruit intensity and balance in a modern Australian style. Vintage ConditionsThe 2022 vintage in the King Valley delivered cooler conditions with a long ripening season, allowing the fruit to develop flavour gradually while retaining natural acidity. Lower yields and steady conditions produced wines with concentration, freshness and structure.  Winemaking TechniquesFruit was harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve varietal character and balance. Fermentation was managed carefully to retain bright fruit expression while gentle oak maturation added texture and spice without overpowering the wine.
