Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

McLaren Vale's 2019 season proved moderate, with balanced rainfall and measured heat accumulation favouring slow ripening across both grenache and shiraz. The blend draws from established vines rooted in the region's characteristic red terra rossa and ironstone gravels, which have shaped McLaren Vale's reputation for dark, structured reds with mineral undertones. Grenache, traditionally grown on lighter soils within the subregion, developed aromatic expressiveness, whilst shiraz from deeper clay loams yielded tannin structure. The extended growing season allowed phenolic ripeness to align with sugar maturity.

Vinification

The 2019 vintage was harvested in late March with careful sorting to ensure fruit quality for both components. Grenache and shiraz fermented separately using wild yeasts in open vats, building complexity and capturing regional character through extended contact with skins. After primary fermentation, the wine aged for sixteen months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak barrels, the new oak providing vanilla and toasted notes while seasoned barrels softened the overall profile. The blend was assembled three months before bottling to allow integration time in tank.

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
