winemaking
With 60% Cabernet and 40% Shiraz, the combined flavours have been
brought together by the subtle influences of 10 months in French
oak. Cabernet and Shiraz grapes were harvested and fermented and aged
separately. Each component was fermented in stainless steel tanks and
pressed to tanks before racking off into barrels for malolactic
fermentation and maturation. The Cabernet and Shiraz components were
blended and fined and filtered before bottling.
