Natural fermentation with twice daily cap wetting. Left on skins for 15-20 days before pressing to carefully selected French Oak barriques (40% new). Natural malolactic fermentation in the spring as temperatures warmed. Racked from barrel once during the 18 months. Light filtration.

“Deep-tinned Syrah with rich, concentrated red-fleshed plum, cassis, and black cherry fruit flavours together with black pepper, spice and subtle liquorice characters. This is a very serious Syrah that should develop well with bottle age.”
