WINEMAKING
Fruit selected from vineyards grown on the northern portion of the famous terra rossa strip that is Coonawarra. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night to help maintain the fresh fruit characteristics.Fruit was crushed, must chilled and cold pressed immediately. 90% of the ferment was stainless steel fermented to capture the most of the luscious melon fruit characters. The other 10% was fermented in new tight grain French oak hogshead, which was also allowed to go through full malo and aged on lees. A further 80% was matured on lees with partial malo in 3 year old French oak barriques for 10 months to add further complexity and depth to the wine. 10% of this has only been stored in stainless steel for additional freshness and primary fruit flavour's.
