This cool climate Shiraz exhibits perfume and white pepper aromas with raspberry and hazelnut flavours. Medium bodied, very complex, lingering tannins and great length.
A number of parcels from across several regions were fermented separately in open and closed fermentation vessels. The portions in closed fermenters were cold soaked before fermentation using the natural, indigenous yeast of each vineyard for fermentation. On completion of the primary fermentation, the wines were then transferred to a combination of 2500 litre, 4500 litre casks (30%) and new (40%) and 1 year old (30%) 225 litre French oak barriques barrels for the secondary fermentation and maturation for 20 months.
