Description
Fruit was hand-picked and sorted. Fermentation was carried out in small lot fermenters. Moderate extraction was aimed for, thus ensuring vineyard characteristics were fully expressed. The wine was then aged in new and one-year-old oak for 6-8 months.
Producer Profile
In the Frankland River region, good winter rains and low to moderate crops resulted in slower ripening times, producing wines with spicey flavours in Shiraz. The reds were a highlight of this vintage, with excellent structure, depth and ageing potential.
