WINEMAKING

Sourced from a single vineyard at the Southern end of the renowned McLaren Vale Wine Region. The wine was fermented in small open top stainless steel fermenters to retain concentrated fleshy fruit flavours. To complete the fermentation process and maturation, the wine went into new and older oak hogshead and barrique barrels for 12 months. The use of oak has allowed the characters to infiltrate the highly concentrated fruit flavour creating a well-balanced yet complex tannin structure.

Cellaring

Drinking magnificently now, but will reward cellaring for up to 10 years, developing more complexity.
