Viticulture
Sourced from mature, low yielding vines, selected from both own and grower vineyards on the valley floor, this wine is a classic statement of intensity and finesse. The 2002 vintage was exceptional, one of the coolest on record in the Barossa. These cool, dry conditions allowed the fruit to slowly develop rich ripe fruit flavours, elegant tannins and good natural acidity.
Winemaking
After careful fruit selection and harvesting, the fruit was crushed and the must transferred into traditional style open fermenters. To extract all of the colour, flavour, and tannins from the skins the juice underwent an extended maceration. After the fermentation was complete the wine was pressed and racked into new and seasoned American and French oak barrels to mature. After 22 months maturation the winemaker carefully assessed each barrel before blending and bottling.
Cellaring
This wine displays approachable fruit intensity and richness now, and will develop complexity and aged characters if carefully cellared over time.
