From both vineyards perfect Syrah fruit was harvested separately and crushed to open top vessels with gentle hand plunging of the cap daily during fermentation The wines were pressed at dryness and run to either older French oak barriques or stainless steel tanks. The final wine was blended just prior to bottling.
