in the vineyard : The Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes come from Fairview’s Darling vineyards. They are dry-land farmed and planted in deep, oakleaf soils. Summer canopy management practices include suckering and leaf removal to ensure optimal sunlight penetration

in the cellar : The grapes were gently crushed and destemmed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with pump-overs three times a day. After fermentation, the wines were matured for 16 months in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels. 20% new French oak was used
