Whole berries were transferred to large concrete and smaller open-top fermenters where plunging or pumping-over occurred three times a day until fermentation wasbcomplete. Malolactic conversion occurred mostly in tank with the dry wine racked to used French oak puncheons and barriques where it matured for 12 months.

Winery | The fruit is predominantly from the Mount Langi Ghiran vineyards in The Grampians, Victoria with a supporting role played by Shiraz growers from Heathcote, Bendigo and Swan Hill. The Mount Langi Ghiran vineyard is located at an elevation of 350 metres above sea level and set between the namesake Mount Langi Ghiran (922m) and Mount Cole (760m). The mountains create a cooling effect as cold air tumbles down and into the valley and the shadow cast shortens the effective sunshine hours in autumn, extending grape ripening and contributing natural acidity and intense fruit flavours. Mountain erosion over time has created a unique profile of granite sands over sedimentary red clay loam. The texture of this soil profile is ideal for moderating the natural vigour of the Shiraz vine and contributes the subtle spicy pepper flavour for which Mount Langi Ghiran has become renowned. These raw elements of climate, soil, and vine combine to create this unique vineyard which is one of the most isolated in Australia. The weathered granite cliff face and sedimentary soils, the cold prevailing winds forming off the Southern Ocean and the historic vinestock all play a critical role in producing the distinctive flavour. |
