The Shiraz grapes were cultivated in the cool, picturesque Grampians region, where mature vines thrive in granitic sand and rocky soils. These lower-yielding vines are carefully managed to enhance the expression of the terroir. Harvested at peak ripeness, the grapes undergo fermentation in smaller more delicate fermenters to maximize flavour extraction. After a gentle pressing, the wine is racked and undergoes natural malolactic fermentation. It is then aged in French oak puncheons, with select barrels meticulously blended to achieve the wine’s ideal balance.

Food Pairing: This Shiraz is a wonderful partner to char grilled steak, rich red meat dishes and hearty pastas. Its wide appeal makes it a perfect dinner party wine with your nearest and dearest.
