about the harvest: Made from 100% Shiraz. Early morning machine harvested at 21 º B, crushed and de-stemmed and cooled down to 10ºC in a stainless steel tank.
After 10 hours of cold skin maceration the free running juice was drawn off and settled to clarify before racking. A cold fermentation at 13 degrees centigrade was carried out to enhance the subtle fruit flavours of the wine. After fermentation the wine was clarified, stabilized and cold filtered, ready for bottling
