"Matured in new and used French oak, and won a gold medal at the Sydney International Wine Show '18, is the extent of the info available. It's a neatly balanced and structured shiraz displaying its regional birthright with clarity."

The fruit for this wine was harvested from the D’Aloia vineyards with careful row selection yielding the best possible parcels for use in this blend. The fruit was harvested within the range of 14.5 to 15.0 Baume, once it had developed a full intensity and complexity of flavours, embodied by a full rounded tannic structure, important for mouthfeel and long, complex flavours on the finish. The grapes were crushed and fermented on skins under controlled temperatures for extraction of deep colour, fruit flavours and to produce a rich full bodied structure. The fermenting wine was drained and gently pressed from skins once dry. The wine was stored under controlled temperature conditions to preserve fresh fruit characters. Free run wine was used in preference to the pressing fraction to avoid any harshness and to maintain the clarity of the fruit character.
