The wine has a dense, violet-red colour. Black pepper & all spice aromas precede the gentle oaky flavours. Succulent, ripe fruits coat the mouth & the wine tapers off into a pleasant meatiness. 100% Shiraz. On arrival at the winery grapes were bunch sorted & crushed. Cold maceration in tank for 24 hours followed by yeast inoculation. Three rack-&-return transfers were executed daily during fermentation. The entire process was carried out with the aid of overhead gantry cranes & satellite tanks to enable minimum handling & the use of gravity. The wine was oak matured for a period of 18 months. During this period the wine was racked regularly & fined with egg whites.
