about the harvest: 

Harvest Date: 20 February 2013
Grapes were hand-picked at 20° - 22° balling to obtain the red fruit spectrum of the Shiraz grape.

in the cellar : 

Hand sorted across the sorting tables before being de-stemmed into a stainless steel basket press. Juice was settled overnight. Clear juice was racked off and fermented in old 500L French oak barrels. The wine was stirred in barrel during its short maturation phase, thus forcing the fine lees into suspension, creating a rich mouthfeel in this wine.

Bottled: 27 June 2013
