Winemaking
Our 2023 Outback Jack Cabernet Merlot was grown in the inland New South Wales regions of the Riverina. A mild start to summer that lead to sun drenched days, producing optimum fruit flavours and physiological ripeness. The parcels were harvested during the months of February and March and delivered to the winery for processing. Both Cabernet and Merlot parcels were de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in sweeping arm vats with regular pump overs, to maximise colour extraction and preserve fruit flavour. Once dry, the ferments were pressed, racked and seeded for malolactic fermentation, ahead maturation on premium French oak. Prior to bottling the parcels were blended stabilised and filtered before release.
