about the harvest: All grapes were handpicked at vine ripeness

in the cellar :

The Shiraz was destemmed maintaining an 80% wholeberry component and given 4 hours of skin contact during a light pressing. Thereafter the juice was reductively handled until bottling. The Viognier was pressed and after settling, the clear juice was racked to 225 litre French oak barrels where fermentation was completed.
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks for Shiraz lasted 18 days at 14° C whilst Viognier was fermented in barrel without commercial yeast for 8 days at 20° C.
Wines were then blended and lightly filtered prior to bottling.
