Inspired by some of Australia's most famous blends, we combined soft, lush Syrah with firmly structured Cabernet Sauvignon and aromatic Cabernet Franc. This dark, deep wine was aged in American oak barrels for rich tannins and structure, French barrels for enticing vanilla, and special hybrid barrels with alternating French and American oak staves for hints of clove and spice.

  • Wine Press (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Wine Press (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A wine press is a device used to extract juice from crushed grapes during wine making. There are a number of different styles of presses that are used by wine makers but their overall functionality is the same. Each style of press exerts controlled pressure in order to free the juice from the fruit (most often grapes). The pressure must be controlled, especially with grapes, in order to avoid crushing the seeds and releasing a great deal of undesirable tannins into the wine. A basket press consists of a large basket filled with the crushed grapes. Pressure is applied through a plate that is forced down onto the fruit. The mechanism to lower the plate is often either a screw or a hydraulic device. The juice flows through openings in the basket. The basket style press was the first type of mechanized press to be developed, and its basic design has not changed in nearly 1000 years. HISTORY The history of the wine press and of pressing is nearly as old as the history of wine itself with the remains of wine presses providing some of the longest-serving evidence of organized viticulture and winemaking in the ancient world. The earliest wine press was probably the human foot or hand, crushing and squeezing grapes into a bag or container where the contents would ferment. The pressure applied by these manual means was limited and these early wines were probably pale in color and body, and eventually ancient winemakers sought out alternative means of pressing their wine.

Negli ultimi anni una maggiore sensibilità alle problematiche ambientali insieme alle opportunità di mercato hanno stimolato l’avvio di nuovi programmi di miglioramento genetico per ottenere cultivar resistenti alle malattie, in particolare peronospora e oidio. Questo ha comportato anche una maggiore attenzione verso la conservazione della risorse genetiche come fonti di caratteri utili. Allo stato attuale, i metodi tradizionali di miglioramento genetico, che includono l’utilizzo di altre specie di Vitis per la produzione di varietà ibride resistenti, possono essere complementati dalle nuove tecnologie quali la selezione assistita da marcatori molecolari (MAS) e la possibilità di identificare geni di interesse agronomico tramite analisi di popolazioni sperimentali (QTL mapping) o naturali (GWAS , association mapping).
