Winemaking
Grapes were hand-harvested from bush vine vineyards on Malmesbury shale soils. 40% of the wine was fermented in new 225L USA oak barrels and matured for 5 months on the lees; stirring for the first couple of months added richness and structure to the wine. Remaining 60% was fermented at 13-14°C in stainless steel tanks using selected wine yeasts to maintain fermentation aromas. Fined and filtered before bottling with screwcap closures.
