in the vineyard : All the vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs during winter and all excess shoots were removed during the latter part of spring. Only two to three shoots were left per hand-spaced spur. In mid-January uneven bunches were removed to allow for flavours to develop more evenly and to enhance concentration in the wine.
in the cellar : The Shiraz lots were all fermented to dryness on the skins, this process taking 8 - 14 days normally at 26° - 28°C. After primary fermentation the wines went through malolactic in stainless steel tanks. The Viognier was blended with the Shiraz after malolactic fermentation. 20% of the wine spent 9 months in older barrels and 30% were on French oak staves for 3 months. The rest of the wines were matured in stainless steel tanks.
