The Wine:
Shiraz and Grenache are de-stemmed together to open fermenters for a short pre-ferment maceration. Gentle pump overs initially, increasing to 4 times daily with ferment peak at 30ºC. Drained & pressed after 10 days, settled for 24 hours before racking to tank and oak for maturation. Further blending occurs with select parcels before bottling. 

A medium weight red wine with lifted blueberry fruit and cherry cola notes, wild thyme, star anise, savoury and earthy characters. Depth and personality from the Shiraz with notes of rain on hot gravel, clove and citrus. Lifted fruit flavour with a fine chalky finish. Perfect when watching a summer thunderstorm.
