Winner’s Tank highlights what can be accomplished when an extremely talented winemaker gets his hands on some premium, Langhorne Creek fruit. Winner’s Tank is a new venture between Reid Bosward of Kaesler vineyards, and David and Cathy Knight, owners of the Winner’s Tank site. The name relates to an old water tank that sits in the corner of the vineyard. In true Aussie spirit, a strong rivalry exists between the three neighboring towns in the local Australian Rules Football competition. Each year the winning team heads out to the vineyard to paint the tank in their team colors.
The earliest maturing Shiraz grapes from the Eskadale block were harvested for this wine ensuring vibrant and dynamic fruit flavors for the wine. Maturation for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. Young vibrant notes of blackberry with floral notes providing interest. Full bodied and fruit forward with blackberry, plum and mocha contributing to a layered, rounded palate. A typical Langhorne Creek Shiraz combining power with finesse.
