2009 / 2008 / 2007 / 2006
Vintage
The 2009 shiraz grapes were fermented on skins for 7 days at 26 degrees centigrade with gentle pump overs. Drained and pressed to tank for MLF and racked for maturation with French and American oak for 12 months prior to blending.
Winemaking
The 2008 shiraz grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning to maximise fruit quality. Separate batches were fermented to obtain distinct and accurate flavour profiles from within our vineyards. After pressing, the wine was stored in 2 and 3 year old American oak barriques for 12 months prior to bottling.
Colour
Dense garnet in colour with reddish purple hues.

Deep red with cherry hues.

Sweet berry flavours enhanced by the savoury peppery spice character with a touch of cardamom.
