Family Reserve 2018

PRODUCTION PROCESS

We make a laying down wine with a long ageing process using Syrah grapes from our family-owned vineyard. The grapes are harvested in mid-August and de-stemmed without squeezing. The maceration then takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping-over for improved extraction. Once the alcoholic fermentation concludes, the wine is transferred to new oak barrels for the malolactic fermentation and 12 months of maturation before bottling. The wine will remain in bottles for one year before being labelled.
