Production Details This Syrah, from our own estate vineyards, is made using traditional techniques including partial whole-bunch fermentation, open-topped fermentation tanks, and maturation in used barrels. Grapes were hand-picked and most bunches were de-stemmed, with about 30% fermented with their stems. Fermentation occurred in open fermenters and the wine then spent 18 months in a combination of 225L, 300L and 500L oak barrels.
