Bottle Info

Vineyard: Planted in the Barossa Valley floor near Angaston on drought resistant rootstocks, the 25 year old vines are spur pruned to produce a balanced crop each year. Excellent fruit exposure ensures rich, ripe and varietal fruit flavours in the grapes.

Vinification: Open fermented with twice daily pump-overs by hand. Pressed off skins after 5 days to maintain soft tannin structure and bright fruit. Matured for 14 months in a mix of seasoned oak puncheons (500L) and Hogsheads (300L).
