Winemaker Notes

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