Crafted from hand-picked grapes harvested in the cool early morning across two separate pickings, this wine combines traditional techniques with thoughtful cellar practices to produce a Shiraz of elegance, complexity, and balance.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"965\" data-start=\"514\"\u003eSeventy percent of the grapes were crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with three daily pump-overs to maximise colour and flavour extraction. The remaining fruit was fermented in small open-top fermenters, with one lot containing 50% whole bunches and another 100% whole bunches. Gentle manual punch-downs were performed three times daily throughout fermentation to build structure while preserving freshness and aromatic intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1354\" data-start=\"967\"\u003eFollowing pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in tank and new 300L French oak barrels before maturing for 12 months in a combination of second-, third-, and fourth-fill 225L French oak barrels, together with 15% new 300L French oak barrels. This careful oak regime enhances the wine's depth and texture while allowing the fruit to remain the focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1509\" data-start=\"1356\"\u003eThe result is a refined, medium- to full-bodied Shiraz with layers of dark fruit, warming spice, and silky tannins that linger beautifully on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1509\" data-start=\"1356\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1641\" data-start=\"1538\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1546\" data-start=\"1538\"\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eInviting aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, cracked black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1856\" data-start=\"1643\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1653\" data-start=\"1643\"\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eMedium- to full-bodied with ripe sweet blackberries, juicy black cherry, subtle dark chocolate, and beautifully integrated spice.
