The grapes were handpicked in the early morning and force cooled to 4°C.

in the cellar :

The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning and force-cooled to 4 °C. Then they were bunch-sorted, destemmed and berry-sorted on vibration tables by 25 highly trained staff. The berries were gently crushed into a satellite tank and deposited in a closed fermenter. After a cold soak of 3 hours the juice was drained and allowed to settle for 48 hours to remove the coarse sediment. It was then racked to a fermentation tank and allowed to warm up before being inoculated with Vin 13 yeast. A percentage of juice drained from full ripe Shiraz was added for greater structure and mid-palate weight.

Fermentation took 18 days to complete at 14 ˚C. The wine was left to settle and fined for protein stabilisation. It was given a coarse sheet filtration prior to bottling.
