| Highlights: A good growing and ripening season was experienced
with healthy rainfall occurring during the key growing
phase post veraison. The 2005 vintage was characterised by mild conditions with days rarely becoming hotter than 35°C, combined with some rain during March and April. The resultant fruit showed good flavour, balance and intensity.
All fruit was harvested in the cool of night and processed with out delay. Fermentation on skins occurred in a combination of static and rotary fermenters with a variety of cap management techniques employed to ensure the extraction of optimum colour, t annin and flavour was achieved.
Pressing occurred before primary fermentation was complete with the wine finishing primary fermentation in either stainless steel tanks or a when it was racked to barrel. The wine was matured in a combination of new, one and two year old American oak barriques for
18 months. |
