WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nest Egg Shiraz undergoes fermentation on skins in small, open-top static fermenters for 10-14 days, utilizing gentle extraction. The fruit is destemmed and partially crushed, with 25-100% whole berries incorporated into the ferment. Following fermentation, the wine is pressed and aged in tight-grained French oak for 18 months before blending. Each bottle is numbered, indicating a focus on meticulous production.
