Vinification
The fruit for this wine was picked in early March, off our best block of Shiraz on our Chairman’s Vineyard, and transported to the Hunter Valley. The fruit fermented in small open fermenters. Fermentation lasted 7 days with gen tle hand plunged twice a day. Following pressing it was put to a 1 year old French oak fouderer for malolactic fermentation and maturation for a further 14 months. The wine was then filtered and bottled.

Vintage notes
The 2021 vintage began with wet conditions in winter that then led into a dry and warm summer period. which set the vines up well leading into harvest. The final ripening period continued to be dry and conditions were ideal for steady ripening and flavour development. The fruit was in great condi tion at picking and had excellent flavours and aromas.
