The vines are spur pruned to 32-36 buds per vine. The mid rows are cultivated to winter active fescue. The Shiraz was -picked on the 14th February 2017. 10% whole clusters were tipped into open fermenters with the balance crushed on top. One open fermenter was seeded with Symphony yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae/Kluyveromyces thermotolerans) with the other left until natural yeast fermentation commenced. Temperatures were allowed to reach 28C with hand plunging performed 3 times daily. After 8 days on skins the fruit was basket pressed & transferred into 18% new French oak with the balance into 1 4 year old French oak hogsheads to undergo malo-lactic fermentation. After malo-lactic fermentation SO2 was added to the barrels, the wine was then left on lees to mature for 7 months before racking, the wine was then transferred back to the same oak and matured for another 11 months. Purple Hands is a boutique wine business located in the southern end of the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Craig Stansborough and Mark Slade started Purple Hands in 2006 from humble beginnings. Just over a tonne of hand picked Shiraz was crushed and barrel fermented in Craigs shed making around 100 dozen. The name (as you might've guessed) comes from the staining of their hands, as they crushed and handled the must through this first harvest. Ever since their first vintage the ultimate aim has been to produce premium Barossa Valley wines that speak of their 32 acre patch of dirt. As the operation has grown, the duo now produce a range of wines, sourcing fruit from nearby vineyards to supplement their own vines. This includes Grenache and Mataro, as well as Pinot Gris from the Adelaide Hills.
