Wine Description
The fruit was, destemmed and crushed then fermented in our old open vats, during which it was hand plunged several times per day for 10 days. After fermentations the wine was pressed out in the old (1870’s) basket press. Maturation was in a combination of French and American barriques and puncheons for 18 months prior to bottling. A classic local Shiraz. Deep in colour with aromas of crushed red berries and dried herbs. Richly flavoured with sweet plum and dark fruit characters with a hint of spice in a smooth and balanced style.
