A plush soft palate displaying red plum, raspberry fruits

The nose displays lovely ripe red plum and spice (nutmeg,

and maturation.
Vintage 2014 in Coonawarra was one of the longest on
record. The growing season was long with a good moist
start; flowering commenced in November, followed by a
dry Summer with warm days and cool nights – perfect for
development of colour and flavour. The ripening period
for the red varieties was cool and slow; harvest of red
varieties began in late March with classic varietal fruit
flavours, good colour and fine grained tannins.
The fruit was machine picked, destemmed and crushed
prior to inoculation with a selected yeast. The wine was
fermented on skins for a period of 7 days in stainless
steel fermenters. The wine was pumped over twice daily
to ensure optimum extraction of colour and flavour. The
wine was then pressed off skins while still slightly sweet
and pumped to new and used French, American and
Hungarian oak barrels to complete primary and malolactic
fermentation. On completion of primary and malolactic
fermentation the wine was racked off its lees, the barrels
cleaned and the wine pumped back to the same barrels
for 16 months barrel maturation with one more racking in
the meantime to aid wine development.
