About this product
Shiraz fruit is hand-picked and gently destemmed as whole berries to fermenters. The fruit is cool fermented at 22°C to retain fruit freshness and allow for gentle extraction of tannin and flavour. After 10 days on skin with twice daily pump-overs the wine was gently separated from the skin and transferred to a combination of French Oak barriques and puncheons, 40% of which were new, to complete fermentation.

Sweetly perfumed and totally seductive, the bouquet shows dark plum, spiced cherry, vanilla, thyme, game and pepper spice aromas, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate that is richly fruited and finely textured. The wine offers gorgeous elegance and fleshy mouthfeel, beautifully framed by fine, polished tannins. Sophisticated and hugely appealing. A blend of shiraz, malbec and viognier. At its best: 2020 to 2030.
