"Winemaker's Notes

The genesis of this wine was many years ago, where we defined a vision of a wine that would represent an apex of all of our family history and winemaking in South Australia. Nothing of greatness happens quickly when it comes to wine. In this process we identified ideal McLaren Vale viticultural sites and formed partnerships with exemplary grape growers to ensure that we had the very best low-yielding and balanced fruit available to us to craft the wine of our vision. The fruit delivered to the winery provided the ideal foundation, with perfect ripeness and varietal expression. A gentle hand was taken in the winery to ensure the fruit could express itself in the purest sense. We vinified the grapes in small open fermenters and hand plunged the skins. Matured in the finest French oak and finally barrel selected."
