WINEMAKERS NOTES
All the components of this wine have come from our Farm Block, on the southern edge of the McLaren Vale township.
The individual varieties were fermented separately and matured in seasoned oak to retain fruit dominance. The style of the wine is based on the mouth filling texture provided by grenache and structure and density characteristic of Shiraz and Mourvedre.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Colton homestead overlooks the gently sloping 'Farm Block' on which the varieties sourced for this wine are grown.
OAK TREATMENT
3-5 year old French Hogsheads
