Winemaking Style:Traditional

Harvest:Good winter rains set the vines up for the perfect start to the growing season with mild conditions continuing through from budburst to flowering. This allowed for good, even fruit set and low disease pressure. Harvest began in late January and continued in and even, unhurried pace into late March. Shiraz grapes were harvested in the cool of dawn in early February when the berries still had reasonable acidity but also good sugar and flavour ripeness.

Winemaking:The fruit was crushed directly to the press and then drained and pressed to ensure minimal tannin and colour in the final juice. Fermentation occurred under cool temperature-controlled conditions in stainless steel with a specially selected yeast to ensure maximum retention of flavours and aromas. During blending a ‘splash’ of Sauvignon Blanc was added to lift the palate to another dimension.

Viticulture:Shiraz grapes grown in the Nanya Vineyard, near Paringa, South Australia, with a splash of Sauvignon Blanc.
