Producentens noter (engelsk): Varietal: Shiraz - Clone SH1A / Grenache - Clone GN 70N Vintage: Warm and dry conditions during the 2022 growing season resulted in a slightly earlier harvest. The grapes ripened evenly, producing fruit with excellent concentration, balance, and freshness. Method: De-stalked, hand sorted, crushed, pumped into stainless steel fermentation tanks, cold soak for two days, and pumped over once a day for 5 days. After fermentation the wine is left on the skins for 2 days before pressing, once pressed wine is racked to barrel for malolactic fermentation.
