Handpicked in early February, from a small parcel of only our very best 50+ year old Shiraz vines, “The Lake” is named after the large spring-fed dam on the historic vineyard, adjacent to these vines. This wine was fermented in small open fermenters with 15% whole bunch inclusion and 100% matured in French oak puncheons for 14 months to retain freshness of fruit, whilst adding structure and complexity to the wine. The top barrels were selected, blended, filtered and bottled.
