 Winemaker's Tasting Notes

60% Shiraz/40% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has been a hit since its release in 2003. Beautiful spiciness from the shiraz followed by dark chocolate and deep opulence from the Cabernet. 100% New World style with up front fruit and soft tannins. Gorgeous and soft to drink now and will benefit from a few year's aging.

 

 

Food Accompinaments

 Winemaker's Notes

Phenolically ripe grapes are handpicked, cooled before a gentle

crushing, open fermented in 600kg lots, hand punched down

three times daily, and put into the barrel at 5 degrees Balling to

finish fermentation in barrel.  The wine is racked three times

before bottling a year later and is further aged in bottle for at

least a year before release.  We feel we have a special site and

our goal is to bottle what comes from the vineyard.  We add

only yeast and minimal sulfur to the wine and take nothing out. 

 Our goal is a limited edition, terroir driven wine that is drinkable

now as well as able to mature further in the bottle.
