Cultivars

60 Mourvedre, 20%Shiraz 7% Carignan, 7% Grenache noir, 6% Cinsaut .

The first selection process takes part in the individual vineyards where specific rows are selected which tend to show, in our opinion, better balance between canopy and fruit, as well as the quality of shoots that carry the fruit.

Vineyards
The vineyards are located in a radius of approximately 160 km ranging from sandy soils and low yielding bush vine (Carignan and Grenache noir ) to the deep, red, clay Glenrosas (Shiraz, Mourvedre and Cinsaut). Each cultivar's characteristics are dictated by where it grows and how it is influenced by the climate.

We focus on expressing the characteristics of each cultivar by trying to keep the process clean and simple. Pre-alcoholic fermentation maceration( depending on the vintage this may last up to days), vigorous pump-overs to extract the heart from the skins, and sometimes post fermentation maceration.

The wines are taken to barrels for malolactic fermentaion and then less contact for up to 6 months. Our whole barrel approach is very unique in terms of different sizes, forests, grains and levels of toasting to accommodate the personality of each individual cultivar.

We blend it very carefully after the best barrels are selected for this special wine - we produced only 2660 bottles.

Winemakers Comments: Deep garnet colour. Fresh, big sweet cassis berry with some floral nuances, mulberry and plummy fruit flavours, complimented by rich, aromatic new oak. The palate is lush, soft and silky. Southern Rhone style meets New World Flair. Needs time in the bottle. Decant before serving.

Wine & Food. Support hearty dishes like casseroles, cassoulets and baked dishes incorporating beef, lamb, pork, goose duck, beans and lentils. The perfect relationship thus far however, is veal sweet breads with pancetta and Jerusalem artichokes .
