VITICULTURE: 
The grapes for this wine come from ten year old Shiraz block planted 
in decomposed sandstone and granite soil.

WINEMAKING: 
The grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness to ensure good fruit, a 
dark red colour and good structure. The grapes are destemmed and 
crushed at the cellar. Cold maceration is applied for two days before 
fermentation to extract as much colour and flavour as possible. 
After fermentation is started, the wine on the skins is left to ferment. 
During fermentation the skins and the must is continually mixed for 
for optimum flavour and colour extraction as well as even 
fermentation. After fermentation, the wine is allowed extend skin contact before it is pressed to obtain the dry wine. This allows for added extraction, 
complexity and structure. It was matured for 14 months in second fill 
French Oak Barrels.

TASTING: 
Medium-bodied with a solid backbone of rounded tannins and lively 
acid, it offers plenty of earthy/meaty flavour right through to a good, 
long finish
