ABOUT THIS WINE
Sister's Run is an estate-focused winery in South Australia, led by the talented winemaker Elena Brooks. The 'Epiphany' Shiraz is sourced from the historic Penny's Hill Vineyard, situated on the rolling foothills east of McLaren Vale. This slightly elevated site benefits from cooler temperatures than the valley floor, allowing for even ripening and the preservation of natural acidity. The winery operates under certified sustainable practices, focusing on biological farming and soil health.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for the 2022 vintage were hand-harvested in mid-March from 29-year-old vines. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit underwent careful sorting, destemming, and a cold-soak period to extract color and primary aromatics. Fermentation was conducted using a split-tank strategy to optimize skin contact and structural extraction. The wine was then aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels to integrate the robust tannins and add complexity before bottling.
