Incredible complexity emanating from wizzened old vines, the Dead Arm disease slowly reduces one of the arms of to dead wood, so the other arm of the vine produces small volumes of the most incredibly concentrated and highly flavoured grapes. This makes ideal material to go into a top Shiraz. The grapes are processed using the gentle Demoisy rubber toothed, open-mouthed crusher, and fermented in wax-lined, headed down open fermenters which are foot trod (the feet are clad in waders) and temperature controlled. The still fermenting grapes are pressed off in baskets through the old Coq and Bromley and Tregoning presses into mainly new American and French oak barriques for twenty two months or thereabouts.
