The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night and delivered in small batches to the winery. The grapes were destemmed, chilled and cold mascerrated for 48 hours ahead of yeasting and pumped over in traditional style. The wine was then transferred to a combination of new, one and two year old French and American Oak for further maturation prior to final blending and bottling.

Food Pairing: This is a great food wine that is versatile enough to compliment a broad range of red meat dishes such as lamb, curries and full flavoured casseroles.
