McWilliams were pioneers of Australian viticulture, they are old hands at sustainable land management and retain access to the finest old vineyards. An eclectic supply of fruit provides the winemaking team with a pallet from which to construct a wine consistent in style from one year to the next. Smaller berry sizes and lower bunch weights increase colour and flavour intensity. Grapes are vinified in a mixture of static, rotary and open top fermenters, pumped over up to eight times each day or headed down, drained and returned daily. After pressing, the wines are matured to infuse complexity and soften the tannins, some components spend time ageing on French and American oak. Alcohol 14.0%
