Each parcel of fruit was fermented separately in stainless steel vertical fermenters for five to seven days, at temperatures of between 25°C and 29°C. The wine was then pressed at 1° Baume and left to ferment until dry. The wine was racked into French oak for malolactic conversion and clarified via centrifuge. Several different blends were carefully considered over numerous days, culminating in this amazing blend, which is
proudly presented in this vintage.
The vines are trained on a trellis system, which is generally a single-wire cordon and all vines have been spur pruned. The vine age is varied. Planting is approximately 1.8m apart with 3.6m between the rows, to allow machinery access. The grapes were sourced from premium areas across South Eastern Australia and machine-harvested during the night. Only the darkest and most flavorsome fruit was selected.
