- This full-bodied and smooth wine with rich dark berry fruit layered with hints of elegant spice and mint chocolate leads to a long, satisfying finish. The rich darkberry fruit character is layered with hints of spice and violet. The palate has a great structure, with elegant, savoury tannins enveloping the fruit and leading to an everlasting finish.
The grapes were sorted, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel fermenters with heading down boards, which submerged the skins in the fermenting must and moderated the temperature of the 'cap' while gently extracting colour, flavour and tannin. Pump-overs were conducted twice a day with a rack, and a return occurred each day early in the ferment. Fermentation lasted for between 7 to 10 days before being pressed. Malolactic conversion happened in the tank before the wine was racked to French oak, where it spent 12 months maturing.
This is a full-bodied and smooth wine with rich dark-berry fruit layered with hints of elegant spice and mint chocolate, which leads to a long, satisfying finish.

Winery | The Clare Valley is a series of undulating hills within the higher ranges of the grape-growing area. Vine aspect and row orientation are as critical as soil type in terms of the suitability of a vineyard site for a particular variety. Shiraz is suited to upper slopes with northerly or western aspects. The vines are trained on a single cordon with a rod and spur to promote even canopy growth along the cordon, allowing for shading and avoiding fruit crowding to reduce disease. The Clare Valley has a high diurnal temperature difference. The cool nights allow the vines to recover from the day's heat and produce Shiraz with an even ripening of tannins and flavour. |
