- Fruit-driven and intensely flavoured blend brimming with red and black fruits and a touch of chocolate and spicy eucalyptus on the finish.A juicy and vibrant blend with raspberry, blackberry, and cherry aromas lifted by notes of violets and sweet spice. Bright, lively, and brimming with red fruits on the palate. This easy-drinking wine is framed by soft, fine-grained tannins to a touch of spice on the finish.
The grapes were sorted, destemmed, and crushed. Fermentation took place 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 tannins. Pump-overs were conducted twice a day with a rack and returned once per day. Fermentation lasted for between 7 and 10 days before being pressed. The malolactic conversion took place in the tank before the wine was racked to French oak, where it spent 11 months maturing.

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, and Cabernet Sauvignon suits the lower slopes and thicker soils. The vines are trained on a single cordon to promote an even canopy. 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 and Cabernet Sauvignon with even ripening of tannins and flavour. |
