Good vineyard management ensures excellence in the finished wines. A unique pairing of good earth and cutting edge viticulture, Banrock Station is the home to some of South Australia's most flavoursome Shiraz grapes. The warm climate is ideal for producing easy drinking, rich and full flavoured wines. The vineyards sit among 3600 acres of natural bushland, a vital link between the surrounding native vegetation and local wetlands. Close-planting and vertical shoot positioning, reduces the impact of reflected heat from the ground. Some malolactic fermentation in oak adds tannins for natural preservation. Once complete, the wine is immediately cold stabilised prior to filtration and bottling. Approx 13.7%
