Asara CLassic Collection is our value for money, cultivar driven range made in an accessible consumer driven style.

in the vineyard : All the vines except for the Phillidelphia Mourvedre are located on the estate. The conditions vary, ranging from altitudes of 90 - 200m. Soil types across the board are Oakleaf and Tukulu which is granite-based and rich in minerals.

Vineyards planted facing east contribute freshness and acidity, the aspect limiting sun exposure to the grapes and lengthening ripening. Southwest-facing vines attract more constant sun and hence enable riper, bolder structure in the grapes.

about the harvest: The grapes are harvested in the coolness of early morning, lightly pressed and sieved.
The average yield is 9tons per hectare.

in the cellar : Pump overs take place for 6 - 7 hours to achieve a deeper shade of pink. The juice is racked off the skins, and fermented at lower temperatures averaging at 14°C. The juice is taken off the lees immediately to optimise the freshness of the fruit.
