GREAT EXPECTATIONS SHIRAZ 2014

VINEYARD

A 14 year old vineyard standing on a Southern slope, in weathered shale soil. Rootstock Richter 110, Shiraz clone SH1A.

CLIMATE

Moderate temperatures during ripening, ensured even ripening. Cool night temperatures was favourable for good colour development in the skins.

HARVEST

Hand harvested into 2 ton bins, after we did grape selection in the vineyard. Production of 6000/7000 litre per hectare.

WINEMAKING

Grapes were harvested at 26 degrees balling. Fermentation took place in stainless steel pump over tanks, after a cold soaking period of 2 days. The fermentation temperature was controlled at 25 C. The wine was fermented dry on the skins and then pressed to another tank where malolactic fermentation took place and finished within 4 weeks. The wine was then racked and put into a stainless steel tank where it aged on French oak staves for 12 months before it was filtered and bottled.
