Vinification:
The fruit for Directors' Cut Shiraz was harvested at night and then crushed to small open top stainless steel fermenters. After 24 hours of skin contact fermentation was commenced with a Rhone isolate yeast. Following 7-8 days of cool (18 degrees) fermentation on skins and hand plunging 3 times daily, the wine was transferred to oak hogsheads (80% French, 20% American) for natural malolactic fermentation. The wine was then topped and left on lees for 6 months with "battonage" (lees stirring) once a week. The barrels were racked and refilled before a further 8 months maturation prior to bottling.
