Shiraz is harvested off vines planted to propitious gravel soils on select sites with a history of yielding moderate crops of the most intensely flavoured fruit. Grapes are treated to several days of day cold soak before inoculation to specialized strains of Rhone yeast, given plenty of air throughout the vinification in a mix of open and static fermenters, caps are plunged and/or pumped over twice daily. Some parcels are whole bunch fermented to encourage partial carbonic and introduce vibrant, spicy strawberry complexity. Batches are inoculated for malolactic, pressed off and transferred to a selection of seasoned French and American oak barrels for several months maturation before the final assemblage.
 
Bright, deep scarlet colour. Lifted blueberry and plums, liquorice and spice combine to create a soft fruit driven Shiraz perfume. Soft extraction techniques and open ferments have achieved a wine of ripe fruit flavours and fine tannin structure. The palate shows plenty of sweet dark fruits and spicy oak flavours. Ageing in older barrels has kept oak in the back ground and ensured that fruit flavours are star of the show.

Matured eighteen months in a combination of new and seasoned Francois Freres and Sirugue French oak bariques.

Fox Creek's vineyards are hand pruned to control vigor, maintaining cropping levels quite low to yield small berries full of concentrated flavour and colour. Native flora and fauna are encouraged as they are excellent pest control and deter parasites. The winemakers sample the grapes regularly to determine optimum picking time as judged by flavour development and baume. Grapes are delivered promptly to the winery. Each batch is open fermented for seven to eight days on skins with low intensity pumpovers conducted to preserve primary fruit flavours. The wine is pressed off to finish fermentation and maturation, mostly in a selection of older French and American oak barrels.
 
Vibrant purple. Intense aromas of mulberry, blackberries, plum and cherries, interwoven with nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Fresh juicy red berries, plums and black cherries lead into a vanilla custard mid palate with hints of toast, coffee and mocha.
