Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2018 vintage was marked by a warm growing season, which allowed the Shiraz grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining the varietal's signature acidity. The Pokolbin region's diverse soils contributed to the complexity of the wine.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested at night to preserve freshness and fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain the purity of the fruit flavours. The wine was left on lees for a short period to enhance texture and mouthfeel.
