Viticulture & Winemaking

Grenache (86%) was sourced from survivor bush vines south of Tanunda and an old vine parcel from Moppa. Shiraz (14%) was sourced from a single vineyard in Ebenezer, selected for its savoury notes and plush texture to complement the Grenache.

The Grenache was fermented in small open-top fermenters for 9 days with up to one third whole bunches, enhancing aromatic lift and savouriness. Shiraz spent 7 days on skins with twice-daily pump overs and a small whole bunch inclusion. The Grenache was matured for 8 months in a mix of tank (50%) and seasoned French hogsheads (50%), while the Shiraz was matured in seasoned French oak for 8 months.
