Zeppelin Single Vineyard Shiraz 2013 CONFIRM 2013 VINTAGE

Shiraz Barossa South Australia
Corey Ryan spent two decades crafting the most memorable vintages at Henschke, Penfolds and McWilliam, not to mention tours of duty in la Vallée du Rhône, he understands old vine Shiraz very well. Kym Teusner shares Ryan's devotion in the pursuit of resuscitating very old, low yielding, dry grown vineyards, Teusner honed his own artisanal approach under the tutelage of grand masters Rolf Binder and Torbreck. Zeppelin is the Messrs Ryan & Teusner bond, to capture the splendour of old vine Shiraz and make it accessible to all Barossa enthusiasts.
The conspicuously low yields of some great old Barossa vineyards makes their fruit unviable for commercial brands. Only the most skilled and knowledgeable small batch winemakers have the dedication to handle such precious parcels of old vines fruit. Shiraz is picked off a single site in the Angaston foothills, planted to sand over clay soils, growing at an elevation of 275 metres. Fruit is crushed into traditional open top fermenters and treated to a course of manual pumpovers, twice daily throughout the vinification. Upon completion, batches are basket pressed and racked into a selection of seasoned oak barrels for an extended term of twelve to eighteen months, to be bottled without fining or filtration.
Dark crimson colour. Aromas of intense and brightly perfumed primary red fruits dominate the nose, a herbaceous edge adding complexity. Plenty of richness on the palate, supple flavours of cherry and raspberry supported by hints of chocolate, balanced acidity and silky tannins. A simply brilliant construct of approachable, single vineyard Barossa Shiraz.

Zeppelin
Zeppelin was created by Artisan of the Barossa winemakers Corey Ryan and Kym Teusner

The wines are made using traditional techniques and a hands off philosophy to create wines full of character. Proud of the region's German heritage, the brand was named in honour of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a brave and progressive man who thought big, really big.

Zeppelin

Zeppelin is source fruit from vineyards either owned by Teusner Wines or Sons of Eden, selected for their age, up to 80 years old, low yielding nature and character. Ferdinand is from a vineyard in Greenock, the Barossa Shiraz in Angaston and the Barossa Grenache is sourced from 60 to 80 year old vines between Greenock and Ebenezer.

A very simplistic approach to winemaking is employed, preserving individual vineyard character and making wines with personality. The red wines are made using open fermenters, pumped over by hand, and basket pressed. Predominantly older French oak is used, with Ferdinand up to 50% new, before bottling without fining or filtration. Minimal sulphur added.
