About this Item
100% Shiraz
Picked early mornings, 20% whole bunch and the rest destemmed and whole-berry sorted followed by two days of cold soaking. During fermentation, two punch-downs a day of the grape cap, with gentle pump-overs every eight hours for extraction. Extended maceration for an additional 13 days before a light pressing. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new tight grain 225 litre French oak medium toast barrels. Barrel maturation of 15 months. A premium selection of only three barrels is made.
Tasting Notes: This Shiraz reveals intense layers of mixed forest berries accompanied by sweet spice and violets on the nose. A richly textured palate with a complex, velvety tannin structure on the finish.
Drink this wine from 2025 onwards.
