Production Details Region: Darling. Both bush-vine vineyards grow on the slopes of the Darling hills. Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were hand sorted and partially destemmed. Fermentation took place in open top fermenters with a combination of destemmed grapes and whole bunches. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation and stayed on the skins for as long as possible. Aged in older oak for 8 months, then blended and bottled.
