Winemaker Notes
Fruit selected from premium Barossa vineyards was cold soaked for two days followed by a moderate fermentation temperature on skins for a period of six days, before being pressed into stainless steel. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and maturation in large format oak with 50% new French oak to add length however to still allow the fruit to shine through.
