Production Notes

The fruit was tested from the beginning of August onwards to evaluate the acidity and sugar levels. The grapes were hand-picked when they had reached the optimum balance of these components and then kept cool. The bunches were 100% destemmed, and the juice and skins were transferred to temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation at 22°C. The skin remained in contact with the must for 12 days, extracting colour, flavour and the desired level of tannins. The Shiraz was aged in French oak barrels for one year, imparting subtle complexity, while the Cesanese was matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of fruit. The wines were carefully blended to strike the perfect balance.
