Winemaking
The Shiraz vineyards were harvested from mid February to the end of March, the Cabernet vineyards from the end of February till early April. Each vineyard batch was open fermented for 7 days on skins with reduced pump-overs to preserve the primary fruit flavours in the wine. The wine was then pressed off to complete fermentation in tank or old oak barrels. Most batches spend part of their maturation time in old French and American oak barrels. 78% Shiraz, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% other varieties
