The wine is a deep garnet colour. The nose is deep and complex with savoury notes, spice and subtle plum. The palate is rich and mouth-filling with savoury herbs, liquorice and soft lingering tannins.

Winemaking

After crushing and de-stemming, fermentation is delayed for 4 days and the juice is stored at 5˚C before the grapes are inoculated with a yeast strain isolated from the Rhone valley. This yeast specifically enhances the varietal characteristics of Shiraz - cassis, pepper and violets. The fermentation is allowed to warm up to 26˚C where it is maintained for the remainder of fermentation. The grapes are pressed before fermentation is finished. About 70% of the juice is transferred to barrel and 30% matured in stainless steel. Here the wines completed malolactic fermentation and allowed to mature for 11 months before bottling.
