Co-fermented with 3% viognier, and 10% of the shiraz comes in as whole-bunches.
All-up six weeks on skins then aged in French oak barriques, 40% new, for the first year then popped into two 3000L foudres for another year.
A little floral, plenty of black pepper with a dash of Sichuan pepper, a neat combo of plums with some soy sauce/umami flavouring.
