Season: The 2025 vintage was characterised by a drier-than-average growing season, with the warmer temperatures allowing the grapes to ripen with intense fruit characters for the Richland Shiraz.
Winemaking: Harvested after ideal fruit ripeness was achieved, the parcels were gently crushed and destemmed into open top fermentation vessel for up to 7 days. During this period, the wines were carefully monitored with the aim being to extract rich colour and maximum ripe varietal fruit flavours. Once the fermentation was complete, it was then clarified and undertook Malolactic fermentation in tank on French oak staves, leading to a softer, creamier wine. The wine was then matured on oak for 9 months prior to bottling.
