ageing : Although drinkable now it should keep for a further 5 years.

in the vineyard : Our established trellised vineyard was blended with a small block of old "bush vine" Shiraz, to create a spicy Shiraz.

about the harvest: The 2013 vintage was a good red wine vintage for Villiera, producing wines with elegance and freshness.

in the cellar : Malolactic occurred in tank after which it was racked. Due to the delicate nature of the wine only 30% was barrel matured in new French oak.
