Jack In A Box Bendigo Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Bendigo has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters with some variation in meso-climatic conditions due to elevation, slope and aspect. Our vineyards have a brownish loamy sand to clay loam soils over a stony clay base, with significant patches of gold-bearing quartz gravel sub-soils. Overall, the soils are acidic and fairly low in nutrients the tendency to low yields is undoubtedly the reason why the region provides red wines of such depth and strength. The fruit was destemmed and crushed prior to fermentation. A slow fermentation on skins over the next 12 days days occurred with pump overs and plunging kept to a minimum to maintain the quality and purity of the fruit. 

Normans Holbrooks Road Shiraz 2020

The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.

McPherson Andrews Reserve Shiraz Cabernet 2019

Winemaking note The grapes for this Reserve Shiraz Cabernet were picked and crushed during the cool of night, thus ensuring the retention of varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout, all of which help to create the famous McPherson style. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a denser, richer colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction. Careful attention was also paid to the oak selection for the Shiraz Cabernet. This wine was aged on French oak for nine months, giving the wine a smooth and elegant oak influence. Andrew McPherson established his winery in 1968 and is known for his famous Australian Shiraz. He has released this special Reserve Shiraz Cabernet, made from the best grapes of the vintage, as the flagship wine for the McPherson Family Winery.

Our grapes are machine harvested early in the vintage to ensure fruit intensity is paramount. We crushed, chilled and fermented the juice at controlled temperatures, and it was cellared in stainless steel to ensure fruit vibrancy was maintained. The wine was bottled under pressure to ensure the bubbles last all those long summer nights.
