Sourced primarily from vineyard sites on the lower slopes of Yarra Valley, which provide the warmth required to produce rich, flavoursome Cabernet and Merlot grapes. The individual vineyard parcels are vinified in a range of fermentation vessels to enhance the complex flavour and tannin profiles of the fruit. Parcels are separately pressed off skins and racked into French oak to develop further depth and complexity. The aim is to construct a wine true to the regional style whilst highlighting the harmony and splendour of the synergy between Cabernet and Merlot. The finished wine is treated to an extended term in a selection of seasoned and new French and American oak barriques.
