The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural and winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the region's strengths. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures for 5-7 days which allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Components are then clarified prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: This famous Black Label Red is a very versatile wine that is especially rewarding with tomato based Italian food or succulent roast dinners.
