Winemaking The shiraz grapes are co-fermented with a small amount of viognier which adds a vibrant perfumed aroma, stabilizes the deep, rich color and gives the wine fine, supple tannins. Each vineyard parcel was vinified and matured separately, and oak was selected to best suit and express the nuances of each vineyard block. The final wine was blended after 12 months of oak maturation. Alcohol 14.5% Total Acidity 6.1 pH 3.45
