Our Icon Collection features some of the wines that have made the Ciel brand so revered. The Icon Collection initially launched with a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (which both sold out in record time) and grew to include the much loved Head Shef Shiraz and Sous Chef Cabernet Sauvignon.
Sous Chef Cabernet Sauvignon (2022 Vintage)
The Ciel Sous Chef Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes sourced from a single vineyard in the Marananga region of the Barossa Valley.
The fruit is basket pressed and then naturally fermented using Indigenous yeast and is hand plunged 3 times daily for 10 days. It is then placed in 15% new French Oak and American Oak and barrel fermented for 15 months maturation.
Whilst being thick and juicy, it is extremely perfumed with violet notes on the nose to deliver a wine displaying characteristics of ripe blackberries and raspberries with softly integrated notes of oak on the palette.
Like its namesake, the Sous Chef Cabernet Sauvignon is the lead support in the Icon Collection of Ciel wines. The Head Chef's right hand man. Rough but refined, the Sous Chef is ready to jump out of the glass. Following in the Head Chef's steps, the hands of the Sous Chef are just as important. Bold, spontaneous, consistent, passionate.
Head Chef Shiraz (2022 Vintage)
The Ciel Head Chef Shiraz has been sourced from 100-year-old Shiraz vines from Halletts Valley, a small sub region within the Barossa Valley. The Head Chef has been carefully refined using a mix of 15% New French and American oak to give balance, texture and flavour.
The fruit is basket pressed and then naturally fermented using Indigenous yeast and is hand plunged 3 times daily for 10 days. It is then placed in 15% new French Oak and American Oak and barrel fermented for 15 months maturation.
This latest vintage shows elegant fruit with streamlined tannins that offers a layered mouth feel with integrated notes of oak on the palette.
Like its namesake, the Head Chef Shiraz is the leader of the pack in the Icon Collection of Ciel wines. The organiser. The Innovator. Like a perfectly plated dish carefully constructed by the Head Chef, this wine holds a beautifully deep and rich Shiraz full of ego.
Beurré Blanc Chardonnay (2023 Vintage)
The Ciel Beurre Blanc Chardonnay is made from hand picked grapes from the Eden Valley. This Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed using only the best free run juice. This wine was then fermented in 100% new French Oak Puncheons. Post fermentation the wine remained in oak on lees for 6 months with the lees stirred weekly.
This Chardonnay shows characters of peach and nectarine with a hint of citrus. A creamy well rounded finish with an alluring natural acidity.
