WINEMAKING
Shiraz grapes underwent a two-day cold soak to enhance colour intensity and aromatic lift. Approximately 20% whole bunch fermentation was incorporated. The must was then inoculated with selected yeast to ensure a controlled and expressive first fermentation.
Following completion of first fermentation, the wine was pressed and transferred to oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation took place. The wine matured in barrel for 12 months prior to bottling, followed by a further 12 months of bottle ageing before release, allowing for integration, balance and depth of flavour.
