The Wine

Shiraz grapes sourced from the renowned Kalimna vineyard, only three rows of this revered fruit have been chosen to be hand pruned, nurtured to its seasonal potential and handpicked by the wine maker. The vines are cultivated and disciplined to vigour, allowing the manifestation of a wine that encourages and encapsulates seasonal and regional variation. De-stemmed and fermented in a small stainless-steel vessel. Lightly circulated twice a day and temperature controlled to allow a slow steady fermentation. Just prior to the wine finishing ferment it is pressed off skins into new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. Allowing the wine to have this last fizz-out in the barrel encourages a unique harmony and integration between wood and wine. Post natural secondary fermentation, the wine is racked off its heavy lees & returned to barrel for a minimum of 18 months before bottling.
