Background

This wine is all about expressing the vibrant strawberry of the Grenache with a clean dry palate. Grenache was harvested and crushed early in the season when not much colour is present. It was left on skins for 12 hours prior to pressing. Only the free run juice from this parcel was taken and fermented using a special sparkling wine yeast until almost dry. The Shiraz was harvested a little riper at 12.5 Baume and therefore is much deeper in colour. After crushing, it spends 24 hours on skins prior to pressing with the free run and soft press being retained. The soft press fraction brings structure to the wine, making it perfect with a wide array of dishes. The Shiraz (39%) is fermented dry and then blended with the Grenache. (61%) Harvesting at moderate sugar levels ensures a perfect natural acid balance in the final wine.
