Production Details Grapes were hand harvested early in the morning, de-stemmed and sorted before being transferred to stainless steel tank for fermentation. The 2020 vintage is the culmination in many years of experimentation to facilitate a style shift from a wine labelled as Shiraz, to Syrah. This was achieved by incorporating wholebunch fermentation or addition of ripe stems in to the ferments on certain vineyards and a move away from heavily toasted new oak. 65% new French oak was used, with the remaining 35% made up of second- and third-fill barrels. The superb structure was achieved through a combination of open and closed pump overs and careful monitoring to ensure a balanced wine.
