Grape variety:  100% Chardonnay (Chinese)

Alcohol by volume: 11.0%

The grapes were night-harvested early in the season to ensure that the resultant wine exhibited fresh acidity and youthful flavours. The individual fruit parcels were then gently crushed, de-stemmed and air-bag pressed into a stainless steel tank. Only the free-run portion was used. Fermentation with traditional Methode Champenois yeast ensured the retention of its lifted aromatics.  Fermented in stainless steel for 7-10 days with a traditional Methode Champenois yeast. After fermentation, the wine was left in contact with less for 3 months to develop mouth feel and complexity. 30% of the base wine underwent malolactic fermentation to add complexity to the aroma and palate as well as fullness to palate.

Tasting notes:
Colour:  Bright, mid-straw.
Nose:  Stone fruit & grapefruit aromas.
Palate:  The perfect aperitif. Classic biscuit and brioche characters balanced by fresh citrus flavours. With a fine persistent mousse.

Grape variety: 100% Shiraz

Alcohol by volume: 15.0%

Vinification:  After night harvesting the Shiraz grapes were crushed into static fermenters. After a brief cold soak to extract colour and flavour, the must was inoculated with Rhone style yeast strain. Controlled fermentation occurred over ten days, commencing at 24°C reducing to 20°C. Gentle Pump-overs occurred six times daily to maximise the extraction of colour whilst still retaining a soft juicy palate structure.
Pump-overs were reduced to twice daily towards the end of fermentation to minimise seed tannin extraction. To avoid any harsh tannins and bitterness only free run and first pressings were used in this blend. After pressing the wines were settled for three weeks before racking onto new American oak for 6 months. The wines were then blended before being finished

Tasting notes:
Colour: Deep crimson.
Nose:  Intense dark berries aroma, mulberry suggestion complemented by sweet vanillin oak characters.

Fermentation was in stainless steel tanks and temperatures were kept between 14°C and 16°C to allow for a longer ferment, again, in order to retain freshness and allow for maximum aromatic production.
