Winemaking
Fermentation was initiated in both static and rotary stainless steel fermenters for 5 days before completing in 300-litre barrels. The wine was then aged for 18 months in a blend of French and American oak hogsheads. The Shiraz parcels were assessed for suitability before blending and bottling off-site.
Vintage Conditions
The 2021 Coonawarra vintage was marked by a mild, stable season with long ripening intervals, delivering exceptional conditions for red varieties. A warm and dry flowering period ensured even berry set, while the absence of major rainfall events and disease allowed fruit to mature steadily. Picking began in late February for whites, with Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon harvested in close succession from early April through mid-May, reflecting the extended nature of the season.
These cooler conditions produced small berries with thick skins, resulting in reds of remarkable colour, tannin structure, and fruit expression. Early ferments reveal vibrant aromas and firm acidity, pointing to wines with excellent cellaring potential.
