Made predominantly from a blend of Riverina Barbera along with Coonawarra Cabernet and Shiraz. The three parcels were vinified slightly differently and fermented separately. The Barbera was picked and pressed immediately to minimize color pick up; while the Coonawarra must be drained off prior to crushing. The parcels were fermented at 14 to 16°C, filtered immediately, and stored in stainless steel tanks until bottling, in order to retain the vibrancy of the fruit.
The vine age is varied, but all vines have been spur-pruned and are generally trained on a single-wire cordon trellising system. The vines are planted approximately 1.8 metres apart with 3.6 metres between the rows, to allow machinery access. The soil styles in the vineyards are varied, ranging from loam to clay-loam in texture with moderate to high fertility, with each terroir adding its characteristic to the final wine.
