Production
The Viognier was picked earlier than the Shiraz and both were fermented separately. The Shiraz was fermented in open top fermenters and punched down 2 times daily to extract colour and flavour. The wine went through ML fermentation in a blend of French and American oak barrels for 12 months. It was then blended with the Viognier and allowed to slowly integrate together.
