about the harvest: Harvest Date: 12 March 2003
The grapes were allowed to reach optimum ripeness at 24 ° Balling before being hand harvested. Careful selection in the vineyard resulted with only the best grapes being picked for this wine.
in the cellar : After de-stalking the mash was inoculated with yeast and fermented in an open stainless steel tank. Pump over was done twice daily for an hour. A further 5 days maceration on the skins was allowed, after a 10 day fermentation period at 25°C, before the skins were pressed. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in the tank before being pumped to 225 litre, French Oak, vats for a 17 month maturation period.

The resulting wine has a deep velvety colour with complex ripe berry fruits balanced with hints of cedar and oak spiciness.
