Blend and Origin
A blend of shiraz (55%), cabernet sauvignon (40%), merlot (3%) and zinfandel (2%). Overall, this was a mild year for Australia's Margaret River, allowing the grapes to ripen early and evenly. Fermentation with wild yeasts and then a long period of maceration adds complexity. Secondary malolactic fermentation in French oak softens the acidity, and lees ageing for 16 months adds body.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
