WINEMAKER NOTE The fruit for this single vineyard Shiraz comes from a vineyard off Old Beenak Road in Yellingbo. Hand harvested, it is destemmed into small open top fermenters and after a short 3 day cold soak they are inoculated with wet cultured Syrah yeast. Fermentation temperature ranges from 25-30o C with hand plunging twice a day for cap management, with a single rack and return at the peak of fermentation. When the cap has sunk post primary ferment, the wine is pressed to French oak barrels (approx. 20% new) for malolactic fermentation and maturation on gross less. The wine spends 15 months in barrel before selected barrels are then blended into tank and receive a polishing filtration to finish. CELLAR
