Classic McLaren Vale varieties of Shiraz and Mataro, from six unique sites showcasing the fruit, acidity and polish that the Vale is renowned for.

 

The grapes were hand-picked and cold soaked for 24 hours prior to fermentation. The grapes were destemmed and crushed then fermented with a house strain of yeast, as Col and Jen are the ‘yeast doctors’, they know what they are doing! Pumpovers were utilized for cap management to extract good color and soft tannins. After seven days the lots were pressed to stainless steel where the wine went through malolactic fermentation. Post ML two-thirds of the wine was racked to neutral French barriques and the remaining portion being racked to stainless steel. After 15 months of aging both the barrel aged and tank aged lots were blended and bottled without fining and with a light filtration and small dose of sulfur.
