Distinctive aromas of ripe plum and pepper spices, mouth-filling sweet red-berry flavours and gentle tannins characterize this wine. A touch of Viognier was co-fermented with the Shiraz for the aromatic lift it gives to the wine, which emphasises the berry fruit and spice aromas on the nose. The American oak barrels give a hint of vanilla spice and contribute to the smooth silky tannins.

Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness and given a two day cold maceration. Fermentation took place over 5 days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. The Shiraz grapes were co-fermented with a small portion of Viognier grapes to lift the aromatics of the wine and soften the tannins. Just before dryness, the wine was pressed and put back into tank for malo-lactic fermentation. 36% of the wine was matured in 225 litre American oak barrels (8% new) for 12 months. Fined and filtered before bottling.
