It takes great commitment and expertise to craft a class act like this one. Select parcels of grapes completed ferment under new oak and were later transferred to old oak puncheons for two and a half years. During this time the wine developed a mellow complexity and was then prepared for tirage. Further maturation in bottle on yeast lees continued to build character, complexity and depth. The resultant wine is a soft, complex style, which will further develop with up to three years on cork. A rich and superior red exhibiting a premium fruit profile, high quality oak treatment and immense personality through extended maturation, a benchmark of a uniquely Australian Sparkling Shiraz genre.
