Specially selected parcels of Shiraz from our own vineyards and some from long-term growing partners across Central Victoria were co-fermented on skins with Viognier for 5-7 days. This process stabilizes the color, enhances the aromas and enriches the dark berry and mulberry flavors. After gentle pressing, the wine was aged on French and American oak for 10 months, achieving velvety, integrated oak tannins.food match
