The Wine

Shiraz grapes sourced from highly desired Roennfeldt Rd. vineyards, Marananga. Grown by a second- generation vigneron and Mr. Blacks’ major partner in crime. The grapes are handpicked, with the majority of the fruit going through the de-stemmer and an intuitive 10-15% going in as whole bunches. Temperature controlled and gently circulated twice daily. Just prior to fermentation finality the skins are pressed into a mixture of one new American and two seasoned French barrels, where any residual sugar from the whole bunch fizzes and ferments until dry. A natural secondary fermentation then occurs in barrel further enhancing this amalgamation. The wine is then racked off its heavy lees and returned to barrel for a minimum of 18 months before bottling.
