Harvest/Winemaking
Being harvested from the initial block of shiraz planted on the estate in the early 1970’s, this wine is truly crafted from within the vineyard and handled separately within the winery from its arrival. The fruit
was harvested in the cool of the morning and crushed into a small open top fermenter . It was then inoculated and headed down to enable silky tannin and rich red fruit extraction. The ferment was
managed over 8 days at moderate temperatures which resulted in a delicacy of the fruit and structure to be extracted. This wine was developed to show the intensity in our old vines and how they can
deliver great complexity and quality year in year out.
Winemaker Comments
Showing elegance and balance this wine has layer upon layer of flavours complemented by a solid core of currents, plums and spicy aromas. The palate is medium weight with succulence and seamless silky tannins and lingers long after the wine.
