Production Details Vineyards are on south westerly and westerly facing slopes at 100m-200m above sea level. Each cultivar was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented separately in stainless-steel fermentation vessels. Half of the Syrah was fermented with 40% whole bunches to add spice and perfume. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked to 500L French oak barrels with 20% new oak. The different components were aged for 12 months before blending.
