Winemaking
In the third week of March, whole bunches of Shiraz were hand harvested before undergoing a gentle crush. Natural fermentation took place in open top fermenters for eight days where the must was hand plunged twice a day. Following this, the must underwent a careful basket pressing into some new, but predominantly older, French oak barriques to finish fermentation. Maturation took place in the same oak, lasting 18 months before bottling.
