The Constitution Road Shiraz flows from deep bright purple into the glass and beguiles the nose with a rich bouquet of plum aromas, black blackberries, warm spices and a hint of dark chocolate. An immensely sensual wine with silky tannins and nuances of ripe dark fruit on the palate, which finish in a long-lasting and pleasantly soft finish.

The hand-picked grapes were completely destemmed and transferred to open fermenters, where they entered the fermentation process after a two-day cold swelling phase. With the onset of fermentation, the cap was submerged every six hours to ensure optimal extraction of aromas, tannins and color. Once fermentation was complete, the wine remained on the skins for another five to seven days. The wine was then pressed into new oak barrels (225 l and 300 l) where the wine completed the malolactic fermentation and finally aged in the temperature-controlled cellar for 36 months.
