Leylines
McLaren Vale Shiraz
"Songlines is made from the best of vintage fruit for structure and longevity. Bylines is made for age worthiness but with a more generous flavour earlier in life. Leylines is
for those who just can't wait!"
—David Fatches, Winemaker
The grapes for Leylines
Shiraz come from vineyard blocks that neighbour
Songlines and
Bylines McLaren Vale Shiraz. Often just as old, these vines produce fruit that is selected for its approachability.
The Shiraz is then blended with a small amount of
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from one of the oldest family-owned vineyards in the Coonawarra, giving Leylines its own deep and unique heritage.
The winemaking uses warmer ferments in traditional open fermenters with hand pigeage four times each day to soften the palate, and the use of older barrels to impart less oak dominance.
Balanced and fully approachable on release, Leylines will also hold for a good 6–8 years.
