Harvest:Grapes were handpicked in the cool early morning.

Winemaking:Grapes were crushed, chilled and pressed on arrival at the winery. Heavy solids were settled for a short period and the still slightly cloudy juice was then transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation, initiated by the natural yeast of the winery. Once fermentation was complete the barrels were stirred weekly, suspending the yeast lees giving the wine extra texture and suppleness. After 6 months in barrel, the wine was racked off lees and given a light filter prior to bottling on site.

Viticulture:Sourced from a long-term grower in the McLaren Flat subregion. This vineyard has heavy, moisture-retaining Biscay clay soils which together with cooling breezes from the nearby Gulf St Vincent give the wine its fantastic array of ripe tropical flavours.
