Selected parcels of Shiraz fruit were fermented using a combination
of rotary and static fermenters. After a seven to ten-day
fermentation on the skins, the wine was gently pressed, and matured
on French oak for 3 to 6 months before blending and bottling. The
result is a Shiraz that boasts remarkable depth of colour, richness,
and intricate complexity
VINTAGE
The Murray Darling region experienced a cooler and wetter than
average growing season, resulting in a later start to Vintage 2023
than usual. Harvest began in February and concluded in April, with
the cooler summer temperatures contributing to excellent fruit
development. Modest crop levels and a slower ripening process
resulted in fruit with beautiful natural acidity and concentrated
aromas and flavours. Notably, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and
Pinot Grigio exhibited excellent aromatic expression. Among the
reds, Merlot and Cabernet stood out with vibrant fruit flavours and
distinctive varietal characteristics.
