The 2018 'The Crossing' Shiraz is the product of a delightful vintage from the Turners Crossing vineyard at Serpentine, Central Victoria. 

The shiraz fruit is from low yielding vines and was harvested at the appropriate time to ensure optimum balance, ripeness and intensity of flavour.

The fruit was transferred without de-stemming, to open fermenters on arrival at the winery, where it remained for 3 weeks; plunged and pumped over 3 times per day, every day. The resultant product was then pressed and subject to a brief period of malolactic fermentation in French oak Hogsheads, before being racked and returned to oak for 17 months maturation. The wine was gently filtered prior to bottling.
