This Shiraz was crushed and fermented, in traditional open fermenters and macerated for an extended period of 2 weeks. Pressed in traditional upright Vaslin basket press. Matured in French oak casks for 36 months. Unfiltered to retain varietal texture. Bottle conditioned for 6 months prior to release.
