From the warmer, drier Strathmore Vineyard in Sutherlands Creek, this site was planted in 1998 to clone P58
and sits on grey and brown loams over fragmented granite.
Fruit was handpicked from two blocks on the same day, cooled overnight, and whole bunch pressed straight
to oak with full solids. 30% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, while the remainder was sulphured
in place. 25% was matured in new French and Austrian oak, with the balance in seasoned French barriques.
The wine remained in oak for 8 months before bottling.
