Good Natured Organic Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown organically: a way of farming that embraces the vineyard as a living ecological system and rejects the use of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and fertilisers. This certified organic red blend offers intense blackcurrant, mulberry and allspice leading to a smooth finish.

in the vineyard : The 15 to 20-year-old trellised vines are farmed to international organic standards in deep, fertile, decomposed granite soils with a high percentage of clay. These ancient soils have great water retention abilities but are supplemented with drip irrigation. Foliage and weeds are managed mechanically, creating favourable conditions for natural protection from disease. This avoids the need for environmentally damaging chemicals.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness.

in the cellar : The organically-grown grapes were de- stemmed and crushed in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation lasted for up to 12 days on the skins, after which, the must was pressed to 20% to 2 nd and 3 rd fill French oak barrels and 80% to a tank with French-oak staves to complement the wine’s flavour profile and length. The wine spent 12 months on its lees to enhance its structure and boost flavour development.
