- Deep crimson in color with flavors of fresh-picked, ripe red berries. Smooth oak combines with a touch of spice for a spectacular Shiraz. Rigorous parcel selection. Grapes picked at optimum ripeness. Destemming and crushing on arrival at the winery. Fermentation of the fruit for about one week, with pumping over twice daily. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation some of the wine is put into barrel to complete its malolactic fermentation. Raised for 4 months in barrel and tank. Ideal with grilled red meat, lamb, spicy foods and full bodied cheeses.
