Situated at the heart of Mount Benson, the Norfolk Rise Vineyard is planted on 180 hectares of undulating coastal hills. Within five kilometres of the ocean at 37 degrees south of the equator, Cabernet Sauvignon is planted on near perfect Terra rossa soils, providing an ideal level of nutrient and water retention. Completely surrounding the winemaking facility, Norfolk Rise Vineyard has been, without compromise, planted specifically to suit each individual variety. Grapes were picked, transferred to red fermenters, inoculated and vinified for six days at temperatures less than 28C. Matured fourteen months in newly seasoned French and American oak barriques.
