The climate at Wrattonbully is somewhat between that of Coonawarra and Padthaway. Vineyards are sited on gentle slopes with rows running predominantly eastwest. The soils are well drained, being in the main classic Terra rossa red brown earth over limestone, the lodestone of red winemaking. The aim in the vineyard is to produce sustainable balanced crops of intensely flavoured grapes by setting moderate levels and encouraging canopy growth. Fruit is treated to vinification in a mix of static and rotary fermenters, encouraging good colour and fruit expression without producing aggressive or hard wines. Upon completion, components are matured in older American and French hogsheads and barriques.
