Winemaking

Fruit grown throughout the Barossa region this wine is a blend of 10 unique vineyard sites. A combination of cooler climate Eden Valley Shiraz (44%) and warmer climate Barossa Valley Shiraz (56%) work in unison to create a well- balanced wine. Using an array of fermentation techniques, all involving extended skin contact and gentle hand-plunging. Each of the fermentations retained varying levels of whole-bunch fruit clusters from 10 to 35%, then after 12-18 days on skins each ferment was pressed into a mix of new (35%) and conditioned French oak hogsheads. After a maturation of 16 months the wine was blended, naturally clarified and bottled without finings or filtration.
