Winemaking

This wine was fermented in stainless steel sweep-arm fermenters to maximise colour and flavour. We fermented the wine at around 23˚celsius using a yeast called AWRI796. This yeast allows the full expression of varietal fruit and for good palate structure.

Maturation

This wine was matured in a range of small barrels to enhance complexity. Barrels were individually selected prior to blending. Over time we expect the oak treatment of this wine to evolve. We have been trialing maturation in century old 5000 litre English oak casks, and like the savoury character the big old barrels lend to this wine, while at the same time preserving lifted primary fruit.
