Winemaker Notes

Premium parcels of McLaren Vale fruit were picked over a two week period to optimise varietal flavour. The juice was warm fermented
on skins for eight days prior to being pressed into stainless steel. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and maturation in medium to tight grained French oak to add length and toast to match the ripe regional McLaren style.
