Fermented and macerated on skins for up to two weeks, with partial barrel fermentation, followed by maturation in French oak hogsheads for approximately 18 months. Producer Notes In the beginning we made just one Shiraz, the grape variety that has defined the Barossa as one of the world's great wine regions. But we knew Shiraz that came from some vineyards was better than others - smaller, deeper in colour and more intensely flavoured - 'Little Black Jewels' we called them. For over 20 years, Stonewell has been lauded as one of Australia's greatest wines and one of the world's greatest Shiraz.
