| Description: | Wine maker notes Shiraz fruit from the Miamup Road vineyard was used to produce this Shiraz. Fruit was harvested in the morning, using a mechanical harvester. The fruit was crushed with the rollers set apart, allowing some berries to remain whole for the ferment. The must was transferred to a sweeper arm fermenter for primary fermentation. The ferment was allowed to reach a maximum of 28°C during its course. After six days when almost dry the wine was pressed and inoculated for malo-lactic fermentation. A combination of French and American oak was used during the maturation of this wine. After approximately 12 months of maturation the wine was racked and blended, before receiving a light egg white fining prior to final filtration and bottling. Technical notes 89.4% shiraz: 7.5% petite verdot: 3.1% viognier Oak: 6 months.
