WINEMAKING
The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Wills Domain Block 6 Shiraz and Yallingup Estate Block 6. Machine harvested in the cool of the morning, the fruit was gently de-stemmed in order to introduce a percentage of whole berries in the fermenter. Cold soaked for 3 days, before being inoculated with a cultured yeast strain. The ferment was conducted relatively cool and allowed to warm to 25°C at the end of the ferment. To maximize colour and flavour extraction, the ferment was pumped over twice daily, introducing regular amounts of air, to encourage a healthy clean ferment. Following pressing the wine was racked onto French oak for 12 months prior to sterile filtration and bottling.

FOOD PAIRING
Pizza, BBQ Pork, Duck and aged cheddar cheese.
