full bodied, ripe & smooth
Sourced from select vineyards within South Eastern Australia, this modern and contemporary wine is fresh, vibrant, and fruit driven. The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes and styles of red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures for 5-7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation, the majority of wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with a percentage of the wine transferred onto French and American Oak. Components are then selected, blended, stabilised, and clarified.
