in the vineyard : A philosophy of precision viticulture is applied. In-depth scientific research is done before planting new vines - great care is taken to seek out optimum vineyard sites (aspect, soil types, altitude, etc.) that would be most suitable to a particular varietal genetic clone. The vineyards are vertically trellised and the canopy managed in such a way so as to ensure optimum phenolic ripeness of the grapes. Vineyards are managed in an environmentally conscious way.

in the cellar : The Shiraz was fermented for 7 days in open tank fermentation vats and punched down by hand four times per day. Matured for 18 months in 60% French oak and 40% American oak, each of the six Shiraz clones sees a unique treatment of yeast and wood. After blending the different Shiraz clones, the wine undergoes bottle-maturation for a further 9 months before being released.
