2010Penny’sHillFootprintShiraz

Sans Vineyards are not botanically homogenous places. Special micro areas seem to produce consistently outstanding fruit, but even this is not static. Traditionally, only an experienced viticulturalist is able to discern these special micro areas. However, with new technology, micro terroirs can now be mapped from the sky using infrared mapping technology coupled with intense geological surveying of soil profiles and capacitance probes which monitor soil moisture.Penny’s Hill Footprint is the result of such meticulous mapping and flavour profiling. From a minisculeyield of a dozen rows that are very densely planted, this stunning Shiraz delivers a melange of freshcrushed,mixed red fruits combined with a succulent texture that’s plain dangerous. Arthur C.Clarke never envisaged satellite technology would be used to this effect in his profiles of the future!
