Vinified separatley in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation in tank, racked of its lees there after and stored. After several trail blends the best combination of both cultivars for the blend was chosen. Blending and preparation for bottling took two weeks and then bottled.
TASTING NOTES	A smooth and rounded red blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing alluring aromas through an abundance of black an red fruit and spicy pepper undertones. Ripe tannins add a balanced elegance to this wines finish.
