Before fermentation starts the juice is concentrated by removing 15% of the volume. This facilitates a greater intensity of flavour. Heading down boards keep the cap submerged for better skin contact. The fermenters are temperature controlled to provide optimum conditions. Gentle extraction is achieved by the draining of wine from the skins and returning back over. Wine is then transferred to French oak barrels for maturation.Ø TYPICAL ANALYSIS 13.5% AlcoholØ FOOD MATCHING Barbecued meats, lamb, beef, chocolate and strong flavoured cheeses.MEDALS GOLD Qantas Wine Show2015 SILVER Royal Hobart Wine Show 2015 SILVER National Cool Climate Wine Show 2016

Winemaking - The hand picked fruit was harvested early in the morning and processed straight away. 5% whole bunches, including stalks were placed into the bottom of the fermenter before filling. The remaining fruit was de stemmed into the small open fermenter with heading down board, which keeps the cap fully submerged between drain and returns. After nine days of fermentation, the fruit was pressed into a blend of new and used French Burgundian barrels.
