Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Taylor family estate in the Clare Valley. Growing conditions leading up to vintage 2013 were relatively mild, with regular spring rains promoting excellent vine health and subsequent fruit of intense varietal character.Once harvested, the fruit was quickly transferred to the winery and de-stemmed. Primary fermentation was carried out in stainless steel fermenters then the grapes were pressed using a pneumatic bag press with all pressings returned to add weight and texture to the wine. The wine was then transferred to 10% French oak and the remainder in water bent American oak barrels for secondary, malolactic fermentation. The wine was matured in American oak for twelve months followed by fining, minimal filtration and then bottling.
